Hi all!
I''ve Canon IXUS and Kodak USB CF Reader . This two digits work great at Windows but i've recently switched to Mac and now i've Mac iBook with Mac OSX .
My Kodak USB CF reader refuses to work though it should support "Macintosh 8.6 anf higher" :((( Kodak support told me that this model is not supported by OS X and they don't now how to force it to work with OS X.
Now i'm looking for new CF reader which is supported by MAC OSX
I find rather cute device - ACOMDATA miniFlash CF reader but i don't know if it supports OS X
Any remarks or recommendations are appreciated!

If the USB reader is one of the clear blue ones (bought mine from 18004memory.com), I have one and it works well and is cheap.

I have found that it doesn't work as well on my 12" Powerbook. Something makes the screen get scrambled, but works just fine if I use the included USB cable attached to it. So its only a minor inconvienence. I believe this is an issue with the pinout/contact size, but am not too concerned over it.
