Arrow SD to CF Adapter

Anyone knows where to buy a SD to CF Adapter, I've tried asking a few vendors at Sim Lim Square and most of them said that they do not sell it.

What's the retail price of the SD to CF adapter ?



TIA.

Just bought one of this (SD card to Compact Flash card type II adapter) from SLS's USB Cable & Computer Accessories @ #06-59 for $40, bargain down from $45.

http://www.memoryworld.com.sg/MW_Acc...No=47&LangNo=0
From the website, probably memory world also selling it.

But feel like the speed is not great, it does it job though. Feel like its transfer speed around 1Mbyte/s, but I wasn't using card read to do that, so I could be wrong.


kegler, how's the speed for the Panasonic adaptor though, interested to know. Thanks.

Reno,

I would appreciate if you could tell me the name of the shop or a more precise location. I know that Fonny used to sell them but the guy at the counter said that he do not have them now.

There is another shop selling the adapter, M-Technic at the fourth floor and it cost $48.

HTH.
