DataFab Systems Inc., leading in portable storage systems, is now offering dual-slot CompactFlash™ and SmartMedia™ card reader

Taipei, Taiwan, September 10,1999- Based on the company's R&D foothold in portable storage field, DataFab is announcing its USB dual-slot images card reader, which can accept Type I/II CompactFlash™, IBM microdrive, and SmartMedia™ cards. The USB dual-slot reader is plug and play and has high-speed transfer rate- (500-800MB/Sec). The reader supports Windows 98 and MAC OS 8.1 or later. The most amazing feature is two slots can be used at the same time for data exchange. Meanwhile, two removable drives are added to your computer, at the cost of only one device.
USB dual-slot CompactFlash/SmartMedia reader is the smart device for people who use a digital camera, PDA, Handheld PC, Palm size PC, Voice recorder, MP3 or Cellular phone. The reader can do data storage and exchange among these electronic devices. Currently most images downloaded from digital camera to computer are through RS232 interface. However, the disadvantages are slow transfer and wasted camera battery life. The reader offers a much easier and faster way to download images from a digital camera to your computer. The card reader becomes more important as the digital camera's resolution gets higher. DataFab has a full range of Parallel/USB flash card readers for CompactFlash/SmartMedia/PC cards. In addition, CompactFlash/SmartMedia Type II PCMCIA adapters are also available.
DataFab, established in 1992, is a professional manufacturer of mobile storage devices. It has developed a variety of portable systems for hard disks, CD-ROM, CD-RW, DVD and flash memory cards.
