This review is from: Pretec Smart Media Compact Flash Card Adapter (Office Product)
I could not make this adapter function. It included no documentation, and none was available at the company website. When I installed it in my iPaq, I was prompted for a driver, which doesn't exist as far as I could find.

It's also quite large, if you look at the picture, the little brass tabs on the sides mark the part that fits flush, the rest sticks WAY out the top of the unit. It seems very fragile and prone to breakage. Of course, I couldn't make it work anyway. I returned it and just bought the CF 128MB card I should have in the first place.

3.0 out of 5 stars Almost there., September 12, 2001
This review is from: Pretec Smart Media Compact Flash Card Adapter (Office Product)
Wish I'd read the other reviews.

This is a nice device as long as you only have 32mb or smaller SmartMedia cards. It won't read anything larger. I had hoped to use it with 64mb cards (perfect size to hold a CD worth of MPEGs on), but no luck. Don't believe the technical data provided by Amazon on this one. Pretec says in big red letters that 32mb is the largest card it's been able to translate so far. They'll get there someday, hopefully soon.

This review is from: Pretec Smart Media Compact Flash Card Adapter (Office Product)
This appeared to be an ideal convertor tool from smart media to CF. However, having purchased one, I find from consultation with Pretec that it is limited to a max of 32Mb smart media card - hardly sufficient for many peoples needs today. In addition this is not mentioned on the Amazon description - in fact the implication is that it can support 64Mb cards.

A product I wish I had not bought!
