5.0 out of 5 stars Flash Card Adapter, December 13, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Viking PC Card CompactFlash Adapter (CF-ADAPT) (Personal Computers)

I just baught the Canon digital s100 camera and needed this adapter to transfer pictures to my laptop (which runs Win NT 4.0 and won't recognize USB).

The card works great, even with different types of CompactFlash memory.

5.0 out of 5 stars Convenient little device, August 12, 2001

If you're like me and have a digital camera that uses compact flash and a laptop that always has a free PCMCIA slot, this is an excellent value. Leave it in your slot all the time, it won't have an effect on your system when the CF card isn't in, but it will permanently add a CF slot to your system.

This means that you can dispense with the camera-to-computer cable and just plug the card into the slot. When you do, it will be recognized as a removable disk, kind of like a Syquest or Zip disk, and show up in your "My Computer" view or Mac desktop, and maybe (this is how Nikon View works anyway) pop up your digicam software.

This really is by far the most convenient way to deal with a digital camera if you use a laptop.

I plugged this adapter into my new Dell Laptop and it brought up my CompactFlash card as an additional hard drive in Windows 2000, no software or additional drivers required.

I was then able to browse and even edit pictures on the card as if it were a disk drive. Truly amazing. All peripherals should be this easy to install and intuitive to use.
