I've heard of many having success with CF, but the only model I have heard quoted as working for SM is the Sandisk SDDR-77. I have had long conversations with Sandisk, as that model does not seem to be available here in the UK. First I was told that it was available, but then I was told that there was only one model, a CF/SM reader with a different number, that they could offer me. I'm still trying to find out if it is the same one, renamed. Anyone with any experience of working SM readers in UK? John and I are still looking for one. Anne
