Device as card reader

[murf62]

I'm sure this has probably come up before but I just can't find a relevant thread, so:

On my last device (Mio a701), you could switch it to 'card reader' mode and it just acted as a USB card reader and didn't fire up active sync when you connect it. Can this be done with the Kaiser?

TIA

you are probably thinking of wm5storage. however, wm5storage doesnt work with the kaiser......it needs a little trick to get it to work, search the forums for it.

Look at Softick's Card Export

This is a commercial product, but I found it more reliable than WM5storage

Actually WM5Storage does work, but it needs a few of the better USB drivers from CE2.

You can install CE2 trial & the free WM5Storage and the the WM5STorage will work. (even when the CE2 trial period ends) This is a little fix for the cheapskates of the world :p

I myself use card export2.

Many thanks for the replies, I will give Card Export a go.

The Mio one was a part of the Mio Utility that came pre installed. It's the only thing I have missed after upgrading to the Kaiser.
