OK....so its not just me!! Good to know. I just built a new PC with an Asus A7V8X-X
board and AMDxp2500
and......the same 61s2b card reader....and mine doesnt work right either. I lost
track of how many times i installed and unistalled the driver. Im using 2000pro which
has version 1.7 driver in it for this reader. I also uninstalled it and downloaded
the 1.8v driver from ECS website but same result. It works with a Compact flash card
but wont with a sony memory stick. All 4 drive letters appear in my computer but
say to insert disk when a memory card is installed. I get no warning messages when
using the w2000 pro driver but when i install the driver from ECS website i get a
message on boot up that says "warning the card reader does not recognize your motherboard."
Glad to know its not just me and im not a total moron for not being able to install
a simple device correctly.
Nice of ECS to inform resellers of the compatibility issue...and for resellers to
NOT inform retail customers.
I cant imagine we're the only 2 people who have ever had this problem. I'm returning
mine now that i know for sure its not just me.
