I've bought a Delkin CardBus 32 adapter to read CF cards on my Vista Sone
Vaio laptop. But the Delkin installation CD doesn't have Vista drivers, and
neither the Microsoft or Delkin websites can help!

Moral: don't try to use modern technology on a Vista laptop!!!

Chris,

My experiences with ExpressCard/34 or ExpressCard/54 flash memory devices
are they do not require drivers. I recently purchased the HSC-ExpressCard/54
Adapter for CF and Microdrive for my laptop running Vista Ultimate and it
was a breeze. Just insert device (windows will not recognize it till you
insert flash media) then pop in CF memroy card or Microdrive and windows
will see it as it would any other removeable storage. Hope this helps.

Hi James,

I have an ExpressCard SD adapter which came with my Sony Vaio, but needed a
CF adapter as well. So I bought a highspeed CardBus adapter from Delkin. But
this certainly won't just plug and play!

Inserting the adapter with a CF card inserted, produces the Found New
Hardware dialogue in Vista, but it needs a driver to make it work. It can't
use the XP driver on the CD, and can't find a Vista equivalent on the web
either. I've asked Delkin for a solution (as their website doesn't mention
Vista yet) but haven't had a reply yet.

Hi James,

I've now had a reply from Delkin to say that "they are considering producing
a Vista driver for the CardBus 32"! I've replied to point out that it is an
expensive mistaken purchase if it won't work on a Vista laptop!! (Plug and
Play merely asks for the source of the driver when it is plugged in, and
can't find one on the CD supplied by Delkin or the web.)
