Can I write and read with PNY Compact Flash Reader?

Hi,

I just purchased a PNY Compact Flash USB 2.0 Card Reader. This may be a dumb question but can I write to the CF card as well? I wanted to know before I opened the package and can not return it.

Photo of the card package is here:

Of course you can. It should show up under "my computer" as another drive. Just drag and drop.

Oh looks like that only reads CF cards.. Might be better idea for you to get a multi card reader that reads SD cards as well. There pretty damn cheap and WELL worth it... Its way faster to write through a reader then the Axim...

Good point about the multicard reader, MMXER. calguy99, you have an X50 right? That means you would need AT LEAST a SD and CF card reader. A multicard reader will also have many other formats (e.g., Memory stick, MMC, Smartmedia).
