I bought the device a compact MRI CF reader to have for the netbook, as I often have to transfer photos and not always the camera cable mitshcleppen wollte.Da device is similar in size to a surf stick, is compact and lightweight. It is also recognized under Windows7 problemlso. Unfortunately, all the cards are not specified as herein recognized. 125 MB to 1 GB ran smoothly. The 8 GB card, which I usually use is not recognized. Can therefore recommend the part only conditionally.
