Very good review, with both pros and cons about the SIO2SD media card reader. From the trenches, cause it was tested thoroughly. Enjoy :)

Yes, good review, including the pinout issue that I confronted when assembling my cable. And yes, those pushbuttons are a PITA (IMO), but I didn't see any mention of the very nice control/selection software now available -- SIO2SD.XEX (?) This takes the SIO2SD to a new level.

 

Another issue that I still have not addressed (and may be related to the reviewer's comments about booting) is the crimp-on connectors for the SIO cable. I've crimped these well, but I still occasionally have connection issues. Something better is needed I think, perhaps solder, although that will make things a bit tricky for some users. A terminal block might have been a better choice for a non-soldered connection.
