(More customer reviews)Okay, so I feel the pain of the other reviewers...I've just spent a day going back and forth between home and different computer stores, looking for a Cardbus/PCMCIA/PC Card that would connect my iPod to my old-school Titanium Powerbook G4 1GHz. Thats right - my iPod got messed up, had to restore, then had to find a way to sync up my 35 gigs of music and videos.
First, I tried doing it via USB 1.1 - a nightmare. After 12 hours, it was still at only ~4000 of the 5354 songs in my library. So I set out looking for a card to give me USB 2.0 (curse you, Apple, for abandoning Firewire!!!).
Over the past day, I've tried 3 different cards, from 3 different brands - the Powerbook recognized all of them, but wouldn't recognize any peripheral attached to them (be it my iPod, or a USB Cardreader, or a printer). Finally went to Fry's and bought the last 2 models hadn't tried - brought them back home, popped this one in the drive, and lo and behold, it works.
Now granted, this could be the particular quirks of my machine - the other ones I tried might work fine on a PC, or other Macs...or they might not. All I know is that this one works for me...and while I've been typing this, it's transferred 678 songs to my iPod. If you've got a Powerbook and are looking for a USB 2.0 cardbus, give this one a shot. It's a whole lot cheaper than buying a new Mac (mine is still running strong 4 1/2 years out - gotta love it).
