Card reader sources

Post by Snorkler » Wed Dec 16, 2009 4:00 pm

Aside from the usual places (including cpap dot com) does anyone know of a good place to buy a DT 3500 card reader? Are there any sold in stores? I have tried a couple of on-line places but one is overseas and only takes PayPal and the other will not ship to me because I have a different billing address than my mailing address.

Or is there another card reader that is compatible with the Respironics Encore Pro software?

BTW, I am running Vista 64 bit and I understand there are some compatibility issues to be aware of as well.

Thanks for any assistance.

eBay?

There are plenty of "usual" places that sell them. It's hard to guess which ones you've tried. Have you Googled?

Ok - I had tried to Google, but based on your suggestion I tried again and found a good source (cpap supply com). Hopefully they are a good source and I will receive the card reader within the week. Then it will be "fun" trying to install the software, card reader driver and getting everything to work together.
