Title: won't read my Olympus 1GB XD card. Seems buggy.
Product review: I shoot Olympus cameras and I bought this specifically because Amazon says it supports Compact Flash and the XD formats. My Sandisk 8 GB Extreme IV card seems to be working just fine with it. My 1GB Olympus XD card on the other hand is not recognized at all. I'm using the reader from a late model iMac running OSX 10.5 (Leopard). Swapping between the two cards seems to confuse the reader such that the CF card isn't always recognized after I attempt to read the XD card. I have to unplug the reader to get it to reset and read the CF card. All-in-all, I'd say it's a buggy and unreliable product. Since it won't read my wife's XD card it is a useless piece of trash and a total waste of money as far as I am concerned. I have to go buy another reader and hope that when the description says it reads XD and CF that it really does.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
