CF 4-in-1 Reader

[poissonsouriant]

Remember when I posted here (http://www.cliesource.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=45153) how I found this device on eBay? Well, I went and bought it ($25 US) and it works great.

I was able to view pictures stored on Secure Digital and SmartMedia cards using this, and I was even able to play an MP3 off of a SmartMedia card.

I realize that it's massive size makes it unreasonable to assume that this could be used for long periods of time. However, as I own two digital cameras, one with SD and one with SM, it may come in handy. I will try to post a few pictures of it working.

Now if only it could read xD picture cards too...
I guess it would then be bigger than the Clie.

Hey poissonsouriant, can you read PalmPak cards with that?

Thx..

[poissonsouriant]

Haven't tested it. It might work. I don't fancy wasting money if it doesn't, though.

i think poissonsouriant have found an useful card, do anyone know where is possible to find one like this: CF to SM/SD/MS/MM or just CF to SM/MS?
Thanks!

Hold on just one Texas minute... are you trying to ask whether there exists an adapter that allows one to use Compact Flash cards in a SmartMedia or Secure Digital or Memory Stick slot?

Because no, there isn't.

Sorry poisson,
i've made some confusion, in fact i've just bought on e-bay a 4 In 1 Compact Flash Card Adaper and i'll try when i'll receive it.
Have you installed pelaca drivers for using your CF adapter? Does it still works well? You know, i have a lot of MP3 and Pictures on Smart Media Cards, so i think i'll be useful.
I'm still waiting for news about a WL100/100 around 50-60$, maybe it's a dream...
Bye to everybody!

Only the incredibly lucky get WL100/110 cards on eBay for $50-60. Most of the time you pay $75-80 if you're lucky, but I ended up paying $95.

Yes, I am using Pelaca's drivers. The adapter is compatible.
