Title: Lexar Pro card readers
Post by: francois on September 22, 2005, 06:08:28 am

About a year ago, Lexar announced - among other things - new "Pro" USB 2.0 & FireWire CF card readers.
Anyone know what happened to those card readers? They seem to have disappeared into vapourware.

You can read the press release here (http://www.lexar.com/newsroom/press/press_09_27_2_04.html) and an article Rob Galbraith website here (http://www.robgalbraith.com/bins/content_page.asp?cid=7-6459-7252).

I have a USB 2.0 one but no firewire port. USB 2.0 is probably faster for small files anyway

Lester,
I have the "standard" FireWire version but I was asking about the new "Pro" readers announced last year.
Here is a few photos (from Rob Galbraith website) of the Pro card readers:
