Mulitformat card readers
Submitted by User Profileallegro on 2:47pm, Thursday, 2004-06-17
When using a multiformat card reader always make sure you put your compact flash card into the proper slot - and always make sure you put the right side in first. They are *not* square. Those nasty devils can slip all the way inside if you're not paying careful attention. If you are distracted and make this mistake, tipping the reader upside down and shaking it a few times *might* get it out (and cross your fingers that it won't disturb/destroy any of the high tech interior components.) If this doesn't work, a gentle prod from a pair of lab-sized tweezers may remove the jam. la la la de da.......not that I know this from personal experience or anything...just saying in case it helps someone out there someday..... ;)

Maybe it won't fit into the zip drive sideways, but I'm quite certain that your memory stick would in fact fit any which way into the large slot of this multiformat reader and get nicely lost inside, more so than my compact flash card if I'm not mistaken. Perhaps you would like to conduct a trial sometime and find out. ;) Coming at this from another angle, I don't look at this as a disadvantage of the compact flash since it did only fit one way into the compact flash reader. I think it is actually a surprise (ie. disadvantage/defect maybe) in the design of this specific reader in particular, unless one of the cards it reads is more than 6mm thick. The opening for the card actually goes (literally) above and beyond the slot where the card fits in.
