I would presume the nine(9) different cards they read are the nine(9) most common.
both of mine read "XD" which are not very common. they are from an olympus camera. they pop up as a separate drive, and live just like a separate drive. although I may format the thing to some microsoft format, olympus has its' own bastard format, and so if I stick it into the camera, I have to wait while it is being reformated to olympus and to establish the file folder they use. Had a bunch of those cardreader things that plugged into the usb port. they were always flakey. hope the one for wife's new iMac is perfect.
