CF card reader for intel iMac?
Posted by: MacManMaz

My trusty USB 1 - ZIO CF reader/writer will not work with my new intel iMac. There is no mention of drivers needed and I didn't need one with any of our PPC macs with usb 1.0 running 10.3.

Is this related to the macintel platform, USB 2.0, or Tiger?

Anybody using another brand with the intel iMac?

strange. i think it should just work. most card readers don't need drivers and are cross platform.

are you plugging it into the keyboard? that might not provide enough power.

I tried every usb port that I got, no luck. Neither the finder nor iPhoto recognize it and the led remains amber on the reader.

Different Cable.
Try a different user.
Then try a reboot.
If all that don't work, go spend five bucks and get a new one.

Recommendation - Cheap

Yes, on a iMacIntel, MB, and MBP

Why this obsession on the Intel chip?
That is not an issue, you plug it into the USB port, not the CPU.

Did you do basic troubleshooting, as outlined in my first post?
