All correct David. There's one very simple card reader which I have which just plugs directly into one of the USB ports on the front of my PC. The SD card slips in the front and the reader then simply appears as a new removable drive in WE. Sadly, there's no indication as to the make of this device. However, I know from whom I got it and will try to find out more info. The one I have here is a multi-card reader and requires a driver to be installed. It's a Belkin with four slots on the front. It cost about fifteen quid to buy through the B BC's internal market so it's probably about seven or eight from your local shop. The other one I mentioned probably costs washers. -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of David Russell Sent: 12 September 2007 15:02 To: Access-Uk@Freelists. Org Subject: [access-uk] Card Readers and writers Hi, This is not strictly an Access technology issue but I want to buy a card reader/writer to use with the victor Stream when it arrives. I understand that writing to a card first and then inserting the card into the Stream is much faster than copying to the card whilst in the Stream itself. So, can anyone recommend a good card reader and writer, and are all card readers writers as well. In other words, I want to copy from my pc to a card but also have the option of copying from the card back to the pc. Finally, am I correct when I assume that these readers normally connect to the USB connection on my pc. Thanks.
