@rainfever: Read up on the subject.
They are different internally.

No different than what we went through with Memory Sticks a few years back.

aren't SD and SDHC physically the same thing? I'm not sure why the old 62-in-1 reader wouldn't be able to read SDHC without a simple driver update (or firmware maybe?)

I keep looking at these things, then I realize that I really only need SD/SDHC. I don't own anything in any other format, and if I ever do, I can get a reader for it then.

BTW if you notice the card reader is slanted to the right but you can still see the back of the CF card slot like you where looking right at it. Same with the usb also.

Does anyone know if this would be plausible to somehow connect as an external enclosure via USB / Firewire so that I could use this on my MacPro?

Apparently it can read, aside from the normal formats, the following: dreams, Skittles, palms, highway signs, the breath of the dying, chicken bones, Nordic runes, and newspapers.

Until it can read Atari 2600 cartridges, I ain't buyin' it.

Doesn't look like any of those cards will be terribly well supported physically, so try not to bump into them while they're inserted.

@JoOngle: Relax. The other 50 include such formats as 8 Track, Cassette, Vinyl, Reel to Reel, Vacuum Tube, Transister and Abacus.

@JoOngle:
So...just what is that 16th format you'd like to read?

Cr*p...my new HP quad core computer just came with a native 15-in-one reader (part of the cabinet, un-removeable)...

...and they have a 65-in-1 now?
