Could some one give me a quick suggestion a CF card reader

[jrod81]

I just bought Kingston x133 CF cards (16GB- if that matters). What CF reader are all you guys using that are using these cards? I don't want to over pay for something that I don't need... direct me with an ebay link or something like that...
thanks a ton

I have this:

It works well. Not the cheapest, but gets the job done and has been dead reliable.

Really, any card reader should work fine. There's not really anything specific to recommend. The performance of all card readers should be roughly the same, and read speed will almost always be limited by the speed of the card itself.

Not all machines have Firewire 800 support either. USB2.0 is as fast and Firewire 400 and as ydgmdlu said, transfer speeds on any of them (PC Card adapters included) will be limited to the write speed of your 133x Kingston card.
