It would crash my MBP and need reboot as soon as i plug in with any CF card in it.

Btw, i also have plenty of issues with cards not showing up on all the readers i got, it's common. Just plug and unplug till you got it. It's just a MAC, not as reliable as PC :)

I am sorry. I just got mad. I guess I just regret buying a MAC for 2k while I could have bought a PC without any issues for a half of the price...

I have both Sandisk and Lexar firewire 800 reader, the Sandisk lasted about 2 years and overall i think the Lexar is a newer and better design. It has two firewire outlets too, allows you to daisy-chain another firewire device. Also, if one connector turns bad due to ware and tear, you could use another. If you could, get the Lexar, it was about $69.99 i believe.

I joked, all systems have issues. My Mac Pro now is a piece of crap despite having warranty and Apple SOB refused to fix it, that's a long story.

If you're connecting your USB reader to a USB hub, you may have issues, try connecting it directly to the mac if you're not doing so already.

No, I am connecting it directly.
