Yes, USB 1, NOT 2!Tuesday, May 03, 2005
I believe the write-up is misleading. I'm a geek and looked at this several times and nothing jumped out at me to indicate it was only a USB 1 device. Especially since it says USB 2.0 compatible. That's misleading because "EVERY" USB 1 device is technically USB 2 compliant. That's because in actuality, USB 2.0 supports USB 1! I too wasted my money on this as I already have plenty of USB 1 card readers.
And as an aside, I ordered a Dazzle Zio 2.0 reader and did a side by side test. It took 55 seconds to upload a block of pictures where the Dazzle took less than 5 seconds for the same block! Save your money.
BTW, I gave it two stars since it does work and is small and portable, it's just not USB 2.

THIS UNIT IS IS ONLY FOR USB 1.1 NOT USB 2.0!!!Wednesday, March 23, 2005
THE MODEL NUMBER OF THIS UNIT ACTUALLY IS 1CFCR AND IT WORKS ONLY FOR USB 1.1 WHICH IS 6-10 TIMES SLOWER THAN USB 2.0.
JUST WASTED $15 FOR THE SAME THING I ALREADY HAVE.
