5.0 out of 5 stars
Great Product for the Laptop User, July 21, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Viking 64 MB CompactFlash Card with Adapter (CF64M-ADAPT) (Personal Computers)
I have been very happy with my CF64M-ADAPT from Viking Components. I purchased two of the cards (one for my PDA and the other for my digital camera) from Amazon. I use one card to transfer information from my PDA to my laptop. It is extremely fast because I can use the included adapter to plug my compact flash 64MB directly into my PCMCIA port. Very convenient. I use the other card to transfer images from my digital camera to my laptop by, again using the included adapter, plugging it directly into the PC Card slot. The versatility of the product is greatly enhanced when I use it to transfer files from my laptop to my desktop (I also purchased an Intelliflash reader). As many of you know, most imaging files (or at least the group of files you want) are larger than what can fit on a floppy disk. This product fits the task perfectly by simply dragging and dropping the files from the laptop (or visa versa) to the compact flash card then swapping the card. A definite must buy!

Excellent deal for digicam/laptop users, April 21, 2001
This review is from: Viking 64 MB CompactFlash Card with Adapter (CF64M-ADAPT) (Personal Computers)
I was looking for a spare Compact Flash memory card to use with my Nikon 990 and IBM ThinkPad. The cost per megabyte for the Viking CF64M-ADAPT is good, but the real star is the included Compact Flash Adapter. I had been using a Sandisk Parallel port adapter, which works reliably. But when I plugged the my memory card into the Viking PCMCIA adapter, then plugged it into my laptop running Windows 2000, it was recognized straight away. Not only that, but the performance just blows away the parallel port adapter. Now I can load 10 MB of pictures in seconds instead of minutes.

must buy with your digital camera, November 21, 2000

This review is from: Viking 64 MB CompactFlash Card with Adapter (CF64M-ADAPT) (Personal Computers)
fyi, with my canon S100 digital elph at normal fine photo quality, this 64mb cf card stores about 108 photos. on my dell laptop with NT and Linux, both OSes recognize the adapter. on NT, I had to install the Softex PC card controller program downloaded from support.dell.com. After it's installed the Viking adapter becomes a hot swappable removable drive. On Linux, cardmgr recognizes the adapter, and fdisk recognizes it as FAT12. However, the default kernel doesn support FAT12, so you'd need to compile the support in yourself (2.2.17 is what I'm using).
