2901 replacement memory card reader suggestions

[Big Dave]

Hi all,

The memory card reader on our 2901 has been in-operative for quite some time, and I'd like to replace it.

Do any of you have any suggestions for a replacement card reader ?

Thanks in advance !

From memory, you can pug in an external USB card reader that will work OK, the USB slot is at the back of the machine...

We are just using an ordinary Hama 31 in 1 card reader, the original one died some years back.

You can also buy a 3,5" card reader and replace the original one (SCSI) with a new USB version, just remember the PC-NRT3a is only USB 1.1 so it may be slow if you have not a newer computer inside with USB 2..

A SCSI card reader may be hard to find.

Dave S,

I was looking at those units, as I have 2 others (same mfg) in use in the store on a WinXP machine, and they're good.

But doesn't the Noritsu software do some special "things" before and after use of the cards ?  

If I remember correctly, it would automatically do a "Safely Remove Hardware" step and then the little green light would go off and then, and only then, could you remove the memory card ?

Will there be any issues with Win2K corrupting memory cards ?
