5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to use -- Makes for FAST downloads, January 26, 2003

This review is from: OLYMPUS MAUSB-10 xD-Picture / SmartMedia USB Card Reader / Writer (Retail Package) (Personal Computers)
I bought this reader/write mostly because I was frustrated at the very long time it took to download pictures from my (Olympus 340) digital camera. This device really makes it a snap, cutting what took five to ten minutes to download 100 pictures to something well under a minute. You simply remove your memory card from your camera and put it into this cigarette-box sized reader that attaches to your USB port.

I had no trouble loading the necessary software onto my laptop (XP operating system) and the reader/writer attached easily to my laptop. The instructions are clear and it is really quite easy to get your pictures downloaded in a very fast time. The reader/writer comes with a CD-disk with software needed to edit pictures.

I recommend this product highly.

2.0 out of 5 stars buggy and slow, July 26, 2004
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: OLYMPUS MAUSB-10 xD-Picture / SmartMedia USB Card Reader / Writer (Retail Package) (Personal Computers)
I bought this along with a new Olympus camera, for all the obvious reasons (faster downloading). I'm not that enamoured with it.

The good:
- downloading is definitely faster than from the camera
- it's portable, so I can use it on any of my PC's or laptops
- I didn't have too many issues making it work

The bad
- bad driver; still not XP certified. I'd expect Olympus to have their act together in this regard
- wouldn't work with my 7-in-1 floppy drive card reader; I've had to disable that on my PC to get this to work
- doesn't like 'moving' pictures - will only 'copy' and then I have to manually delete the pictures through file manager or the camera
- I think it is slow: plugged into a USB 2.0 and transfer rates are well below par. It takes about 15-20 seconds to download a single SHQ.JPG picture (about 3.5MB)

I personally would opt for something else (e.g. a multi reader with XP certified drivers) before getting this card reader.

Happy shopping
JB

4.0 out of 5 stars Combo XD and Smart Media Reader, November 5, 2002
This review is from: OLYMPUS MAUSB-10 xD-Picture / SmartMedia USB Card Reader / Writer (Retail Package) (Personal Computers)
This reader works great..after getting the driver to load on my XP Pro system. Initially, the reader was on a Windows 98 machine and was the perfect solution to read both medias. Each slot appears as its own drive on windows explorer.
The reader is simple to use and has a light letting you know if the drive is working. The information is moved quickly to the computer.
