[CUBE] OT: USB card reader?

[Tom Means]

I would think it might be a problem of the camera or its software.  I have a Canon
Powershot G1 and download the images from a 64MB card in the camera to the
computer as fast as I am able highlight and click on each image.  Still using Mac
OS 9.04.  I also have a sandisk flash card reader that I consider worthless.
Using infra red, I am also able to download images through my HP1215 printer.  In
all of these instances, using the camera is much better and faster.
