PCMCIA card reader
We had a customer call in today who had purchased a Macally PCMCIA 4 in 1 card reader from another company. The customer had purchased the Macally card reader to use with a 1 GB SD flash. When they received the card reader, they plugged it in to their laptop. To thier utter amazment and horror, it did not work. So they contacted the people they purchased from, who told them that 1 GB SD cards were not supported.
Well, they returned that card, and called us to ask if are card reader had the same problem. I didn’t know if it did, so I tested it out, and it worked. So, if you have had the same problem on another PCMCIA card reader, be assured that our card does work with 1 GB SD cards.

Well, I also bought a PCMCIA card reader from Ridata and it also doesn’t work with 1GB cards (either SD or MMC). Unfortunately I cannot return the card. So, do you know if there is any third-party software that will fix this problem? Or any other trick to make them work? Any help will be apreciated. Thanks.

Doru,
I don’t know of any software that will fix this problem - I would contact Ridata to see if they know of a fix, but I’m sure you already thought of that.
One nice thing about Sewell is we offer a 30-day unconditional guarantee - you have 30 days to return things (and we are usually flexible on that to help our customers out). Sorry to hear about your bad experience.
