OK in this case I will translate what I found in the meantime (the
chips are gneeric btw as I dunno where digisol ships and at what cost)
UT330 - they call it the "vw beetle twin turbo" - very fast incl CF
UDMA, no known compatibility issues
UT335 - same as UT330 but with external memory for firmware updates,
also an additional full SD channel to support a dedicated slot for
mini/micro SD cards
GL826 - relatively new chip (this explains why it is in only a few
products) with outstanding MemoryStick HG I/O, issues with 300x CF
UDMA were resolved by a firmware update, now trouble free
The readers built with any of these are all spec'ed at either 30 or 32
MB/s so I think the difference is to be taken with a glass of
RiceWhine...
I can see my 99 pence budget for the last card reader won't cut it. This
will all have to be looked at in more detail with the predictable sharp
intake of breath.

The card reader, (reads just about everything), I built into my current
desktop cost me $14.00. It was pre-SDHC however, so I bought the
cheapest SDHC reader I could find immediately when it turned out that
the studio I was working with didn't have an SDHC reader either (10s of
thousands of dollars of MACs and not a single one with SDHC reader). It
was a Sony and cost $19.99 and an office Superstore. What really
torques is that it was SDHC/Memory Stick, not something useful like SDHC/CF.
