Interesting product and the price seems ok. I suppose USB2 makes sense for universal connectivity. I wonder about the speed of transfer in fast turn around settings if you are working with a limited number of cards.
Did a quick check online for availability. It's not listed yet with my usual vendors and is in pre-order status with others.

New computer vs card reader/USB ***Solved***

I'm not too sure what forum I need to address this to. Not sure if it's an issue of bios, OS or hardware. It's very weird, wherever it belongs.
I just built a new computer (see specs below) and I have a HP Officejet 6300 with a front USB port combined with four different card reader ports. I don't use these ports and don't need them. When I installed this thing to my last computer a few months ago (an Aopen AX3S with PIII 933 MHx Coppermine) it wasn't a problem and didn't interfere with booting. After a few days, I uninstalled this pseudo drivecard reader because it interfered with my preferred drive assignment letters. I uninstalled it and it was gone. End of story.
Now I have the new computer that also has an AMI bios. I built it last Friday and reinstalled and updated all my software over the weekend, including the HP printer/scanner/fax software and drivers. I never connected the Officejet until I needed to print something yesterday. No problems there.
Since connecting this USB fed HP device, whenever I reboot this machine, it can take forever to get past the POST. First, it initializes the USB controllers, then displays the memory and locates my USB hub and a mass storage device. After that it proceeds though autodetecting my all my hard disks and optical drives. Then it starts autodetecting USB mass storage devices and begins hunting a "Device #0 :" It doesn't find it and tells me "0 mass storage devices found and configured" and something about NVRAM.
The time required for this is variable and may take either a fraction of a second or 28 seconds or 8½ minutes to reach this point in the POST. I never know what it will do until it happens. 8½ minutes is a long time to wait for signs of life.
In devicemgmt.msc this thing shows up both as as "Storage volume/Generic volume" and in my Disk drives category as "HP Officejet 6310 USB Device". In "My Computer" it shows up as Removable Disk H:, as "HP Officejet 6310 USB device".
I've tried numerous times to uninstall this device but it comes right back like a bad weed. Sometimes it tells me "Windows has found new hardware", sometimes not. Regardless, it always comes back and I can't get rid of it, unlike with the old computer. Once I unintalled the thing in that computer, it was simply gone.
I can disable the device either in "Device Manager" or "My Computer" but then it always takes 8½ minutes to POST the first boot and 28 seconds thereafter.
When I disable the thing, it turns into a disabled "HP Officejet 6310 USB Device" in devmgmt.msc under Disk drives and disappears as a "Storage volume/Generic volume" and disappears in "My Computer".
If I unplug the USB cable from the Officejet or switch it off, everything is good.
I can't find anything in the BIOS that would explain this behavior but have tried resetting it anyway. I've pulled the plug and battery, discharged the capacitors by cycling the power button and cleared the CMOS numerous times. This hasn't helped.
Anybody know how to deal with this? It's really a pain in the butt.
Otherwise the new computer is great. Scary fast and stable as a rock.
(I don't really need to know HP makes junk. I'm aware of that. I bought one quite a few years ago with a replacement policy. It broke so they gave me another one. They keep breaking and I keep free replacements.)

I think I fixed it last night. Not sure exactly how it happened but I did another cmos clear with a CF card in the HP, left it unplugged for quite some time and disabled quick booting. After that, POST quit looking for the HP. Now it is doing as it should and not finding or even looking for a printer as a potential boot drive when starting up. It does appear in Windows exactly as it's supposed to and occupying one of my drive but I'm going to leave it alone now.
Changing legacy support had no effect on anything. I tried that last night. It returned to its default of Auto with reset of the cmos. That's where it is now.

Hi Svet,
I ran the HP USB disk tool on my Corsair flash drive and installed the MSIHQ BIOS tool on it with the v. 1.5 update. It worked like a champ. I had to jump through some hoops again to make the bios quit looking for the HP card reader at the POST but got it done. Everything is currently working just as it should.
With the new bios, I have the option to change the multiplier. I'll probably wait a while before I start goofing with that but I just wanted to let you know that everything appears to be good with my new computer.
Thank you so much for all your help with this.
Best,
Don
Hi Don,
Nice You are done well

New Lexar USB card reader, X tells me low power

The card reader worked fine yesterday.
Today, no matter where I plug it in (usb port) or the keyboard, OS X pops up a window telling me there is low power for this device. Therefore, I can not mount the CF card in the Lexar card reader.
This card didn't have any installers. Should I look for some on their webpage?
I guess I should have bought the Sandisk card reader, about the same price, eh?
Should I start looking for my receipt to trade it for the Sandisk card reader?

Lexar USB card reader is: Model RW022 Rev A
I did contact Lexar using their 24 hour live chat on their webpage. An excerpt from the conversation is pasted below. I wrote "Lexar" and "me" to hide identities of those involved.
Lexar: we are sorry to say that, our card reader is compatible with USB 1.0, USB 2.0.
Lexar: not compatible with 1.0
me: so the card reader is not compatible with 1.0 on a Mac
Lexar: exactly.
Lexar: not compatible with USB 1.0
me: ok, thanx
Lexar: is there any thing else i need to assist you.
me: yes, what versions of Mac OS is this card reader compatibvle with?
Lexar: this reader RW022 is compatible with MAC tiger.
me: from your webpage this card reader is compatible with USB 1.1 and USB 2.0
me: http://www.lexar.com/readers/compactflash-2.html
me: All Macs, even older ones, were USB 1.1
Lexar: all lexar products are compatible with USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 only.
me: My mac is USB 1.1
Lexar: then it will work.
The conversation went on and Lexar asked for time to research this, which I told them to take all the time they needed.
In the end though, Lexar asked me if I had it connected to the keyboard, and I answered yes, and they said it should be connected to the tower.
So I'm assuming connecting the card reader to the Apple keyboard doesn't have enough power (as the keyboard and Pro Mouse are also using the power there). They told me it should work if connected to the tower. I thanked them and said I'd try that.
So I'm assuming that this card reader should either be connected to the Cube directly (without turning it over I hope I have 3 USB ports under there) or to a better USB port that is powered (than what I have) so that the card reader gets plenty of power. In the past, I simply connected my very old CF reader [in OS 9.x] to the keyboard (like I do my scanner) and it worked.
Do most card readers need to be connected to the "tower" or to a powered usb port?

PCMCIA Card Reader for MacBook or MacBook Pro to Read Panasonic P2 Cards

Is there a MacBook or MacBook Pro that comes with a PCMCIA slot that will accept the new Panasonic P2 cards that are used to capture the DVCProHD format? If not, is there an alternative to the Panasonic reader that uses an USB connection to send the information to the computer. Currently, the only way I can import the material is via the camera. Thanks for any help.
PPC Dual G5 2GHz Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Spot On!
I am completely sold on the technology and its future. I recently read an article on a future codec that will be available for the camera and card that will use the H.264 scheme in the compression. This will double the amount of content that a card will hold. In other words, from 8 gigs = 8 minutes to 8 gigs = 16 minutes. This will come in the form of a downloadable update for the camera and cards. REALLY COOL!!! You won't have to buy a new camera to take advantage of the improved codec.
As far as color reproduction, HDV cannot come close. If you look at the technical aspects of DVCPro HD vs. HDV, it's a "No Brainer."
Happy Shooting!

How to read card reader (bar code reader) in simple java program ?

pls give me any sample code or tutorials or tools, etc (whatever you have) .
i am new to this card reader category
its very urgent

Nearly all card readers and barcode readers I've ever seen simply stick their input right onto stdin, so you can capture it just as if it had been typed in on a keyboard

Please recommend a CF card reader for Mac

I have a iMac (Intel) desktop and also a Windows based PC. I use the newer Mac to process JPEG photos in Lightroom 3, but here's the catch: most of the time my older Sandisk ImageMate 8-in-1 CF reader does not show up in LR3 (I connect the USB plug directly to the back of the Mac's USB slot). It works just fine with the PC. So it may be a hardware problem and I am willing to invest in a new Mac compatible card reader. My Mac runs on OS X (Lion).
Can someone recommend a Mac OS X-compatible CF card reader? I'm getting desperate.

While it is highly probable that getting a new reader will fix your problem one thing in your post gives me pause. You say that most of the time it doesn't show up, but sometimes it does?
You would think that a comparability problem would be an either or situation. It either works or it doesn't. I would check out a few things first before buying a new reader.
First I'd try a different cable, even if this cable works OK on the PC. Second would be to use a differtn USB port on the Mac. Then I would open Image Capture and see if the reader shows up there. Finally open System Information (in te Utilities folder) and in the hardware section select USB with the card reader attached. See if it shows up in the devices.

Alcor Micro Card Reader

When I tried to upload pictures from the memory chip out of my camera the card reader does not recognize the memory chip. HP had an update driver for the Alcor Micro Card Reader but it would not install. My computer is an HP Pavilion p6-2378, Win. 8.1, 64 bit the Alcor Micro Card Reader Driver is for a 32 bit so I was wondering if there was a way I could get a newer Alcor Micro Card Reader program because when I went to the Alcor company they said that they only sold to companies like HP that built the computers. I was told by one of the techs from HP to reinstall the Alcor Micro Card Reader from the recovery disks but if the Alcor Micro Card Reader would not install the new driver why would I want to go to the trouble to reinstall. It don'ta make sense. Is there any help out there?

I have a Panasonic FZ38 HD camera. I can load and view my hd movies onto iMovie with no problems via my camera or a card reader. When I try to copy my hd videos from my old Windows pc to my new iMac, the picture speed has doubled but the sound is normal.

I have a Panasonic DMC-FZ38 HD camera and have lots of hd movie clips stored on my old Windows Pc using Photofun software supplied by Panasonic, which I want to transfer to my new Imac computer. I am able to copy my most recent movies that are still on the memory card from my camera onto Imovie and view them with no problems at all. When it comes to copying my old existing hd movies stored on my Windows Pc (and which are no longer stored on a memory card), I discover that when I view them on the Imovie, the speed has doubled but the sound is normal. In order to transfer my old movies I have copied them back onto a memory card (SDHC - the same card as previously used) and then put the card back into my camera and then copied them onto my Imac via the camera USB. I have also used a card reader but get the same result. If I view the same movie through my camera, or look at it on my old pc, it plays at normal speed. Does anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening please?

have you read and watch the Tutorials..? :
http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/#imovie
iM is a bit.. iffy, when it comes to the definition, what a 'camera' is. historically, only tape based machines were a movie-camera. nowadays still-cams allow movin' images too..
but, as mentioned above: the intended workflow is: material from photo cameras (even when they move) => import via iPhoto; material from video cameras (even when they don't move.. ) => iMovie
when the import is done, you'll notice in all iLife apps the 'media browser' - in iM09, on the very right, the icon with a camera on.. click it, presto, all (incl. your 'videos') your iPhoto Library at hand for usage in iMovie.

Panasonic P2 Cards slot, gone on the new MBP? Why?

I will like to buy a MBP but, I need the slot for the Panasonic P2 Cards which the old Power Book has... Would they be adding this feature again in the next model? any ideas? Why would the take it out?
Thanks!
G5 2.3Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.1)

When I heard about the ExpressCard replacing the PC Card slot in the MBP, my first question is - will there be a CF adapter for the new slot? My next question is - how about P2?
The answers are to buy a FW/USB CF card reader and P2 Store Deck if I ever use the technology. Then again, there's FireStore. Sigh...

SOLVED: 1030NR - SD Card Reader launches Found New Hardware Wizard when media is inserted

I purchased the HP Mini 1000 1030NR a few days ago and have been very happy with it so far. Last night I attempted to use the integrated SD card reader to view some photos from my digital cameras SD card. When I inserted the card into the drive, Windows did its normal hardware initializations. It should have detected and installed the SD Card Reader automatically, but instead I was presented with the "Found New Hardware" wizard. Every attempt to install the driver automatically via the Wizard failed. Every SD card I tried in the reader produced the same results.
After spending 2 and a half hours online with HP support, their eventual resolution was to do a full System Restore. As owners of the HP Mini 1000 will know, this process is made difficult due to the units lack of a DVD-ROM drive. Furthermore, the problem here is clearly a missing driver. Doing a System Restore as suggested would be like swatting at a fly with a cinderblock. It may resolve the problem, but there is a much more straightforward way.
The problem is that due to the nature of the XP installation on the 1030NR,(scaled down for performance/size reasons), the linkage between recognized hardware and the internal Windows driver respository has been broken, at least as far as USB devices are concerned. I found this out after the same HP support technician suggested I uninstall all of my USB Root Hubs from Device Manager and reboot. Those never came back either. Fortunately I had created an XP restore point beforehand and quickly got my USB ports back. Of course, my SD card reader still didn't work.
The solution is to restore that linkage between recognized hardware and the internal Windows driver repository so that the operating system can "find" the USB drivers and in turn, install the necessary software components for the SD card reader. Instructions for doing this are as follows:
1. Insert an SD card into the SD card reader. The "Found New Hardware" Wizard will appear.
2. Check the radio button to not allow Windows Update to search for software. Click Next.
3. Check the radio button to "Install from a list or specific Location (Advanced). Click Next.
4. Check the radio button to "Search For the Best Driver In These Locations. Then click the checkbox "Include this location in the search."
5. Click the Browse button and navigate to "C:\Windows\inf" If you cannot navigate to this folder you may type it in the box manually. Click Next.
6. Follow the remaining on-screen prompts to complete the software driver installation. You may receive an error code at the end indicating that the device could not start. Disregard this for now. Once driver installation has been completed, reboot the computer.
7. Once the system is back up, the "Found New Hardware" wizard will probably reappear. If it doesn't, make sure the SD Card Reader has a card inserted in it. Cancel the Found New Hardware wizard and click Start - Control Panel - System - Hardware tab - Device Manager and look for entries with either an exclamation point or a question mark. You'll probably see the SD Card Reader with an exclamation point and an "Unknown Device" with a question mark.
8. For the SD card reader, right click on it and select "Update Driver..." from the list of options. Follow steps 2 through 6 above to complete installation. At the end, the card reader should be functional (you can see it in Windows Explorer, etc.) but you'll still have an "Unknown Device" in Device Manager.
9. To resolve the "Unknown Device", once again go to Device Manager, right click on the Unknown Device entry, click Update Driver and follow steps 2 through 6 above.
10. One final reboot and the SD card reader should be functional and no ? or ! warnings/errors should be present in Device Manager.
The reason for this issue in the first place is most certainly due to the way Windows XP is configured on the HP Mini 1000. Although this solution works for the 1030NR, it should also work for models in the same family that contain the 2-in-1 SD card reader. HP really needs to provide an official fix for this issue, preferably a "patch" that re-establishes the linkage between recognized hardware devices and the internal Windows XP driver repository. Their official support suggestion of doing a complete System Restore to solve the problem is impractical, heavy handed, and may in fact not solve the issue.
It took me nearly 5 hours total to resolve this problem. I hope this post saves somebody both time and trouble.

C:\Windows is the default folder for the Windows XP installation on the 1030nr. Unless changed during installation, all PC's (not just mini's) that have XP installed will have this folder present. As for the inf folder specifically, this is hidden from view in Windows Explorer unless you tick the option to "Show Hidden Files and Folders" from Tools - Folder Options - View tab.
Still, you shouldn't need to "see" this folder for the above instructions to work. When running the "Found New Hardware" wizard, you can just type the path in manually at the appropriate spot. If you truly do not have a C:\Windows\inf folder, then it sounds like something is wrong with your Windows installation and a full System Recovery may be the best option. It might be a good idea to contact HP support first before donig that though.
Does your Mini run Windows? If not, unfortunately the instructions I laid out above will not help you. I believe the "other" Mini's run some HP customized version of Ubuntu Linux. For that OS, you'll need to obtain a driver specifically for it to get the card reader working. Try the HP site for a download for the SD card reader or contact support.

Card reader not recognizing CF in leopard on new 24" Imac.. HELP PLEASE!!

I have a new 6-in-1 card reader that my new IMac (Leopard, 24", 2.4gHz, 2gb RAM) won't fully recognize. The thing is, it recognizes it if I put an SD card in it, but not a CF card. (This is annoying because one of my cameras uses CF). The stranger thing is that if I boot XP in parallels on this IMac, XP recognizes both the SD and CF cards just fine in the reader, and the files import flawlessly. This makes me think the computer, the connection, the card, and the reader are not the problem. My Macbook also recognizes the CF card without any problems, so it's not just that the card reader isn't fully Mac compatible. Any ideas? It's super annoying and I'd rather not buy a different card reader when it seems so close to working... I can import photos through parallels and XP, but that's annoying and there should be a way to get this fancy machine to see the CF card in the reader...

Not being able to transfer photos from CF cards using my USB2 card reader, I connected my Canon D60 camera to my MacBook using the original Canon cable. The Mac doesn't see that either and there appear to be no relevant rivers on the Canon site. Is there a problem with USB2 under Leopard? Is Apple aware of or working on this?
