SmartMedia Reader (DM-8200)

It was plug and play with my Mac Book Pro

It didn't work

Exactly what we were looking for. Works great. Shipped fast too.

Simple (only) solution to reading old extinct media

WORKS AS ADVERTISED.

I have owned the reader writer for years. I have been using for reading the photos from my Olympus, but I have also used to transfer data between my lap top computer and my desk top. Works great and Smartmedia does not cost much.

The Dazzle DM-8100 will not read my 128mb Lexar memory sticks. It will only read the 16mb Sony stick that came with my camera. I emailed customer service. With no response after 3 days I called their 800#. After quite a long wait on hold, they were of little help. They said there might be a patch someday. But, they did not know when.

The card reader is great! It recognized all my jpeg pictures taken with my Olympus cameras instantly. The best part is, the reader saves the camera battery. I already toss away the useless program that Olympus camera came with, and just use this reader to transfer files. What is going on with all these handicap-version of software that came with the device, only to force one to purchase the additional features later on? ...The major attraction of Dazzle's reader over its competitor was, the onDVD program that it came with. The program allows me to transfer my pictures into VCD format.However, the onDVD program that came with my reader has fatal problems. The OnDVD program I got doesn't work at all.At first, the program did not recognize my CD-R burner. After the explaination from the Dazzle website, I replaced the edi32.dll file as state and got it to write my VCD.However, the OnDVD still have major problems! ...Currently, folks from Dazzle is trying to fix the problem. I say get this wonderful reader, but knowing that the software still need to fix with a patch later on.
