Looking to buy a media card reader/writer

[McBainUK]

I am on the market for a USB Media Card reader/writer that can handle MS Duo, CF and SD cards. And most importantly be able to cope with cards over 1GB.

I'm in the process of getting a refund on this card reader as it cannot handle large capacity cards :mad:

Any suggestions of brands/models obtainable in the UK?

Anyone?

http://www.kingston.com/flash/15in1.asp?id=2 says it supports SDHC, but I have no experience with >2.0 cards

Did you try searching for your model memory card+reader ?

Anyone?

Sorry nope - no cards over 1gb here yet.
Do they use an extra pin or is it a FAT limitation in software?

Got a local electronics store you can nose around in?

I think its software - they just can't count that high I suppose.

I've looked around my nearest PC World but found the sales staff to be unhelpful and the products not mentioning supported card sizes, just the types of cards (SD, MS, CF etc).

Bought a Sandisk 12-in-1 ImageMate from Amazon (part number: SDDE-89 V4) and I can confirm that it is able to read 2GB Sony MS Pro Duo cards.

Hurray!
