I just got this Viking Interworks 32-Bit Cardbus CF Compact Flash PCMCIA PC card adapter/reader brand new only to discover there are no drivers for my 64-bit Windows 7.
It comes with drivers for 32-bit Window 2000 and XP though (and also earlier flavors methinks).

I paid $36-odd for it in total. Can be yours for $29.98 paypalled and shipped ConUS (other shipping options possible, require extra s/h). Essentially no tax and no s/h.

Should be faster than USB2.0, so if you have a laptop with PCMCIA (aka PC card) slot and use Compact Flash cards - very nice piece of hardware...

    Yes, I can vouch that the 32-bit cardbus adapters are very fast indeed. I remember I went from hours (well maybe like 1 hour) down to minutes (maybe 4 minutes) headscratch.gif transferring a full 12GB card, compared to my old 16-bit PC card adapter.

    Anyway, somebody buy Nikolai's adapter so I can put mine up for sale... I just got a new laptop with an expresscard slot so I can't use my Lexar cardbus adapter any more...
