A "new thread" started by the first guy who gets his hands on the Qio, and reports of transfer speeds would be great.

Cheers

Bump,

Not too far away now..... I have the PCIe version for my Macpro tower on pre-order.
Would make a nice christmas present.

Cheers

I would see the compatibility with a Windows OS (Vista 64) first ... before I think about acquiring one Xmas present for myself.

Hello Tingsern Wong,

How can (Windows OS (Vista 64) be that much different for a "card reader" than plain old Vista ?
being mainly Mac I didnt think that windows boxes were that involved ?.

Cheers

Hi Tom,

Plain old vista has 2 versions - 32 bits and 64 bits. I use the 64 bits version. This is no ordinary card reader. It has a PCIe card - and you need device drivers for that to work under Windows platform. Therefore, I rather wait for more reports of compatibility with that platform first - before taking the plunge.

Cheers,
TS

Hi TingSern Wong,

no doubt someone will get the Qio and try it in the same sys as you have and make a report on some forum somewhere. (maybe you could do it and report findings, or just send it back if it dosen't work)
If Sonnet guys do the job they do on the rest of their range of gear , it should be a winner.

Cheers
