Resmed S9 USB SD Reader?

Post by jaybeem » Wed Oct 30, 2013 7:28 pm

I have been using SleepyHead on my Mac. But I would like to load the ResMed software onto my PC, which does not have a Smart Card reader. ResMed makes a $39 USB SD reader for the S9: http://www.cpaponly.com/cpap-software/r ... p-397.html

I don't know enough about SD cards to know if that is any different from a $8 USB SD reader on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/IOGEAR-MicroSD-Re ... +reader+pc

Can anyone tell me if the $8 one will work?

You just need a regular sd card reader for the S9, $10 or so at Walmart, Target or Staples.

You don't need to spend $39...
They don't have to be name brand. Looks like the $8 one at Amazon will work.
cpap.com sells them for 12.95

Walmart has some that will work too. Any generic reader/adapter that will allow you plug the SD card in one end and then plug the other end into the USB port will work.
