CF PC card adapter
I'm looking for a good Compact Flash PC Card adapter that will work with a TiBook (667 DVI), iPhoto (1.1.1 and 2 whenever it comes out... <img src="graemlins/oyvey.gif" border="0" alt="[No]" /> ), and OS X (10.2). Something fast and something cheap (preferably) if it can do other formats then thats just a bonus... but these are the main functions I am going to be using it with...

However, my PCMCIA CF adapter routinely crashes my computer, corrupted the directory of both hard drives attached to my laptop requiring a reformat, and you have to restart to switch between compact flash cards.
I would go with USB, if firewire adapters are not available.

thaT really sucks...
What company is the card from? I should probably stay away from them...
I saw a good one @ MWNY, but I cant remember the name <img src="graemlins/hmmm.gif" border="0" alt="[Hmmm]" />
It doesnt make sense for me to go USB because i can currently do that for free using the camera...
it cost me £9.99 ukp
no problems at all.

On my Mac (since it's a desktop) I use a PNY USB CF Card reader. Just plug it in and it mounts on the Desktop.

Actually, it came with my IBM Microdrive.

Reads and writes SmartMedia, CompactFlash, Memory Stick, Secure Digital, MultiMediaCard and IBM Microdrive.
Price: $39.99.
According to the documentation, it reads faster than your camera can, though I doubt it's really all that much faster.

</strong><hr></blockquote>I actually just picked up one of these last week. Great little device and a steal at $40. I use every slot except for the Memory Stick, but my cousin has a Sony camera - so it's good for when we upload her pics when she's over.
Also, if a PC Card adapter has screwed up anyone's system, I think the problem might be with the computer. These PC Card readers are all the same and mine have worked great for years. Including my MicroDrive PC Card reader.
