I've got a couple USB card readers that sort of work on OS 8.6 & 9 - but there are issues.
1 of them is a no name brand and it's huge limiting factor is it won't read SD/MMC cards bigger than 64mb!
The other one I have is Lexar Media Multi Card Reader (USB 2 - but works on USB 1) that is flaky at best. I've got a couple of that one actually.
It works fine in X but OS 9 it rarely does. There are seperate drivers - for 8.6 and 9.04 - and I'm wondering if it's because I'm using 9.22 or something like that.
What is aggravating is the fact that the little thumb sized readers (that have a USB port on one end and space for the card on the other) are almost bullet proof using the same cards - I guess they fool the OS into thinking it's a thumb drive and don't need drivers?
So - can anyone recommend a better card reader - or some Extension voodoo that I should do?
Also - has anyone tested SDHC (Secure digital high capacity - the bigger 4 gig/8 gig/16 gig SD cards) on any sort of setup with 8.6 or 9?
