Card reader question

Post by rosiefrosie » Fri Jun 05, 2009 6:43 pm

I have a card reader on my computer. A Dell 19-in-1 card reader. Can I use this or do I need to purchase the card reader made specially for my machine? I know I need to buy the software and have not done that yet. Is this a stupid question?

It has been said that the Infineer DT3500 is the ONLY reader that will work.
How are your computer skills? Give it a go and let us know.

for a resmed there is a generic card reader ACS38 that works for some if you make a gauge for it - see

for the respironics machines only the DT3500 (and the serial version of that one) work

Thanks for the replies. My computer skills are for the birds, but I have a son-in-law who is a computer whiz.
