Moshi Cardette Ultra Multi-Card Reader
Redesigned from the inside out, the new Moshi Cardette Ultra is a huge step up from its popular predecessor both in terms of looks and function. Its sleek aluminium exterior complements the new line of iMac and MacBooks exquisitely. Furthermore, it is equipped with the most advanced memory controller IC compatible with next generation high speed/high capacity memory cards. Unlike other generic card readers, Cardette Ultra supports all existing memory card types (except Sony SxS/KxS and Panasonic P2 memory cards) with just 3 slots; making it easy to identify the correct slot for your memory card. Cardette Ultra conveniently links to your Mac/PC via USB 2.0 and draws power directly from it, so there are no external power adapters required. It also comes integrated with two USB 2.0 ports so that you actually gain one extra USB port while plugged in. Cardette Ultra is one of the very few future-proof card readers available today supporting the following memory card formats: all series of CompactFlash (CF) and MicroDrive, all series of Memory Stick (MS,MS Duo, MS PRO Duo), M2, MultiMediaCard (MMC),SecureDigital (SD), micro SD / TF, eXtremeDigital (xD-Picture), and SecureDigital High Capacity (SDHC).
Adapter required for miniSD.

Instructions
1. Plug Cardette into any unused USB port (USB 2.0 preferred for faster transfer rate) on your computer. For USB ports that are not easily accessible, an extension cord is included for your convenience.
2. Rule of thumb during card insertion: in almost all cases, insert the card with the labeling sticker facing upright and metal contacts facing down.
3. If you feel resistance inserting card at the slot entrance, most likely you've inserted the wrong card type or the card is in the wrong orientation. Never use excessive force inserting the memory card, doing so could damage both the Cardette and the memory card.
4. After successful memory card installation, your computer should recognize it almost immediately (either as a pop-up drive icon in Mac OSX or as a removable storage drive in Windows).
5. The integrated USB 2.0 hub can supply up to 300 mA of power, which is sufficient for powering most USB peripherals such as flash drives, MP3 players, mice, keyboards and PC cameras. Separate power may be required for devices such as external hard drives or DVD drives when attached to Cardette.
