Hey there,

Does anyone have a 10 in 1 card reader that actually works in Windows
XP? I have an INWIN 10 in 1 internal card reader (CR-i530) as pictured on
the following page,

http://www.in-win.com.tw/home/engl [...] p#Internal

INWIN technical support will not even answer me so I am trying to get
the damn thing working. It shows up as an Unknown Device under the
"Universal Serial Bus Controllers" and I cannot get it to recognize the
correct driver, using the "Update driver" feature and pointing to the
Windows 2000 driver does not work, it refuses to use that driver. I know
that the device is connected correctly as I can use the USB port on the
front panel and all of the card slots use the USB interface.

Any help is greatly appreciated, I think it might be down to
incompatability with the Windows 2000 inf file and XP. Thanks in
advance!!!!

Nick.

Hello

Well your best source of info would be Inwin and if they are
not giving you what you need as far as support, maybe you
should use a different product.

After much communication with technical support via the phone they have come
to the conclusion that the box is faulty, so I shall get a replacement and
see if that works. Thanks to anyone that has offered help.

Nick.

I have a question for everyone who has a working In Win CR-i530.

What does the LED on the left-hand side indicate? Is this covered
anywhere in any "manual", "documentation", or In Win website area
that I missed?

My guess is that GREEN indicates the reader has a USB LOW SPEED connection
and that AMBER indicates the reader has a USB HIGH SPEED connection.

This did drive me nuts at first because at first I thought GREEN meant
that everything was a-okay and that AMBER meant something was wrong.
The LED was GREEN until I installed the latest Intel Chipset INF update
utility, then it went AMBER and for the life of me I could not get it
to go back to GREEN except by either disabling the device itself -- or
by disabling the USB2 controller <bing, light bulb goes on over my head>!

BTW, the CR-i530 appears to be a particularly good and inexpensive
(US$21 at newegg.com) little device for what you get. It seems to
have only two deficiencies that I have found (so far):

1. The internal connection cables are not long enough for a full-tower
case. I wanted to replace my never used 3.5" floppy with the CR-i530.
The floppy slot in my case is at the very top. Oops. I had to buy a
3.5" to 5.25" bezel and mount the CR-i530 in an external 5.25" slot a
few slots below my still never used 3.5" floppy drive. (Right where
my also never used IDE ZIP drive used to live, ha, ha.)

2. The LED indicator functions don't appear to be documented anywhere
other than very briefly in the product specifications, i.e. "Active LED
indicators of power and busy (read/write) equipped" (and that is a
direct quote).
