But I'm having trouble getting it to read my memory card. Sometimes it will but most times it won't. I'm not sure what the problem is. I don't have the booklet that comes with it. So I can't really read up on it. Ever have problems like this. I'm hoping someone can help me... canon 30d, canon 1d mkIII, 50mm 1.8, 18-55mm, canon 1.4 extender, canon 400mm f2.8 IS, canon 70-200 f2.8 IS II, Canon 16-35mm f2.8,Pocket Wizards,430 ex II, 580 ex II, Canon 430 EX, sigma SA-9, 70-300 5.6, 28-80mm(which I NEVER use)

Have seen some posts out there about this very issue with several card readers, and I had it myself. I have a SIIG one that wouldn't connect either, after giving years of trouble-free service. Updated the firmware (which you have to get from Sandisk, but they use the same chipset in both readers), and it's worked without trouble since doing that.

The same reader would read SD cards fine. Reads CF cards after the firmware update.
