Do you think this would work with SxS cards?
I'd rather spend $20, vs. $250 for sony's card reader add-on

Howdy...

If you do a search, you might find my previous thread on using a similar item with my MacPro...

Basically, it works very well for USB-based cards (ie. not SXS), but for EX-1 cards, it only works if you reboot while installed. It won't recognize the card if inserted while the power is on...

The card can be ejected, however, without powering down.

Best,

Ben
