Please excuse, I am new at this.

Just got an IOGEAR GFR202SD card reader/writer

Windows 98SE recognized it when plugged into a USB port, but where do I
get a driver for it?

The pdf manual at iogear.com mentioned a driver CD, but the little blister
pack included only the USB GFR202SD card reader/writer, card, and quick
start guide, no CD.

I can't find a driver for it at iogear.com.

Any help will be appreciated.

You have a problem. The Iogear GFR202SD is not for Windows 98SE.
Specification says Windows® 2000, ME, XP .

Window 98 SE requires a USB mass storage driver to work.

Not likely, the manufacturer has to provide the Windows 98 driver.
As far as I know, there is not a generic Mass storage driver for Windows 98.

Of course if you were a Master Programmer, you could write the mass storage
driver for Windows 98.

I would dump the Iogear and get another card reader that works in Windows
98. (Check the specs before buying).

Thanks, CSM1, I probably will give this little USB thing to a friend with
XP.

ME and 98SE are close in structure. I would give the ME driver a shot.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

Where do I get that?

While ME and 98SE are close in the type of Windows, ME added support for USB
Mass Storage devices, that 98SE needed drivers for.

Therefore there is not a separate software for the mass storage driver in
ME.

Which is why the Iogear device did not supply any software. All of the
systems they supported have built in support for USB mass storage.

I have a kodak easyshare z710 camera. When i take the sd card from the
camera and put in the iogear, the computer says that the file is there,
but that it is 0 information.

When i put the sd card back into the camera, the camera says
"unrecognizable format" - but it was there and saved on the sd card
before putting it into the iogear.

If i use a regular card reader, it works fine.

Is there a glitch? I am using windows xp.

Apparently there is glitch somewhere.

Format the card in the camera only.
Erase images from the card in the camera only.
Never on the computer, the computer will create a unreadable card for the
camera.

It is likely that the card was not correctly formatted before you used the
card.

If you have pictures on the card and you can view the pictures in the
camera, then copy the images using the USB connection of the camera (It
there is a USB connection). Or the Dock.

After copying the images then format the card in the camera before using the
card again.
If you can not copy the images, they are just gone, sorry for your loss.

Do you think there may be something wrong with the iogear?

Windows XP can read any valid format available. The keyword is "Valid".

I am not sure what's going on. it works sometimes - and not others. I
can put pictures onto the reader from the computer, and the camera
reads it just fine, but going the other way - even if i format the disk
first, sometimes the file has 0 bytes. it shows the file is there, but
nothing on the disk comes over to the computer.

interesting.
