Hi, saw some discount on buy sell forum on compactflash. If used the compactflash as a external storage with a usb or firewire reader, does winxp require any driver for the card and reader to work?
I know for sure WinXP does not require a driver for USB external storage. Not sure about Firewire.
Between the 2, if you have a USB2.0 port and using a USB2.0 reader (one that actually supports USB2.0 high speed transfer, not just USB2.0 compatible), then the speeds are more or less the same, and mainly limited by the CF card speed.
