Ok, finally I have a working card reader in my 2000XL. I eventually found one that worked after searching the forum - but it took awhile of digging before I found it. My hopes are that a sticky could be made to help future owners not have to dig so much. All it would take is for people to simply share what they know and have it added to the sticky.
If you dont know what card reader is in your machine - you may want to check (most have stickers on them showing the model) and share the info, if you dont care to do that, thats ok too - Just tryin to help others not waste time and/or money or pull their hair out - i have done all three before finding a working reader.
So I propose if people would be willing to contribute, to share which drive, card they are using and the date (as we know this information changes as hardware gets older or non-existent)
anyway from my recent experience Dec 2010/Jan 2011
the Addonics AEUDMACF - does NOT work, I tried with the Sandisk ultra II 1gb card and also a Viking 512mb card - no dice
the Addonics ADIDECFB - Definately does work tried both Sandisk ultra II 1gb card and also Viking 512mb card and it recognized both immediately with no issues. Was basically plug and play - didn't futz with anything
