Customer Reviews of Antec CompactFlash to PC Card Adapter Card

A MUST if you have a lap top.
The short and simple of it. I love this little item. I purchased a Canon Digital Elph for Xmas, which I love, and after the first time of connecting the camera to my laptop and going through the software jive and taking way toooo long, I went searching for something easier. Now, I take my pictures, pop out the CF card and slip it in to my Antec CF Adapter and then slap that in my laptop and I have instant access to all my images. No software menus to scroll through. As soon as you plug in the CF Adapter card in your PCMCIA slot, it shows up like another hard drive and list all the jpg's you took on your camera. I purchased this adapter from Amazon about 4 weeks ago for [$$$] bucks, a steal. I see they have increase the price a little since no one else was going toe to toe with them in the price arena. Still a great buy for [a little more money].

Incompatibility issue....
I have no doubts that this is a great product, if you're running a Windows system or Mac OS 9. But, I found out the hard way that it is (currently) NOT compatible with Mac OSX (I'm running 10.2.3) -- it caused a serious kernal panic forcing me to reboot.
Incidentally, when I booted my system into OS9.2, the card adapter worked beautifully -- I was able to read and write to my compactflash cards very quickly, without a hitch.

I just wanted to alert any OSX users about the incompatibility since sytem requirements are not listed for this item.

Great price
No need for cables anymore for the laptop- read the CF card like a hard drive - transfer pictures, use for backup of files - anything.
