Default card reader advice

My camera uses Compact Flash. I just got my wife a camera that uses SD. I
plan to upgrade memory cards for both cameras to high memory & high speed.
Any recommendations for a fast card reader that accommodates both SF and SD
memory cards? Thanks.

If you live near a Walmart they were selling a Lexar reader that I
believe was rated at either a 7-1 or 8-1 reader for about $29.00. I
think they are rated USB 1.1 and 2.0, I know they are fast. I have two
of them and so far they work great.

There are lots of them out there and if you live near a best buy or
circuit city you will have no problem finding one. I have a IOGEAR and
it is USB 2.0 and 1.1 and reads Memory Stick,SD, compact Flash,micro
drive, and smart media. Was $19.95 when I bought it.

I use a SanDisk USB 2.0 8-in-1 reader... and it has worked great!

I previously used a Dazzle 6-in-1 reader... and it rendered a number
of Smartmedia cards unreadable by my camera.
