The Gadgeteer Reviews EagleTec's SD to CF Card Adapter
Posted by Jason Dunn in "ARTICLE" @ 04:00 PM
"I live by the Boy Scout motto: Be Prepared. I have a zippered pouch in my gear bag that has all kinds of little adapters and tools. Things like the Victorinox CyberTool and FlexUSB adapter. I just found another adapter that will be taking up permanent residence in that pouch: The EagleTec SD to CF card adapter, which I received from Brando. There isn't anything really mysterious about this adapter. It is basically a CF Type II shell, with a slot that an SD card can plug into."
Sounds like a useful product, and it's great that it sits flush with the edge of the slot - the adaptor I have from Pretec sticks out the top of the slot. The lack of a lip for easy extraction makes it almost worthless in my opinion though - having to carry a tool to make use of another is not my idea of being mobile. ;-)
