I have a Lexar firewire compact flash reader and really like it. I've had it now for 5 or 6 months and have not had any problems. It's their newer model #RW019. /forums/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
Looks like dewey-eyed beat me to it.

I have to second the opinions on the Lexar. Mine was plug and play on 10.2.8 and works fine with 10.3.3. Blazingly fast!!!!!!!

I have the lexar reader as well. Just a quik question is there anyway to have it set so I dont have to manualy eject the card in the finder before removeing a card from the reader. My new Cannon camera does this and its great but I bought the reader for speed and the USB connection of the camera just isnt cutting it. I dont even want the card to show up in the finder I simply just want iphoto to launch when I insert the card and be able to remove the card when I want. Any ideas?

I don't know of any way to do that. Your Mac treats the FireWire reader as a mass storage device like a hard drive or optical drive, so it mounts the media to the desktop.
The new Finder features of Panther make it quite easy to eject removable media, so upgrade if you haven't yet. That's about the best suggestion I can come up with for you.
