Hi David Ian and all:

I have just received the Maplin newsletter which is offering
a 32-way card reader for £9.99 which plugs into a USB port.

It is unusual for them to need driving software.
They are just usually regarded as an external drive.

David

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.

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.

David
