trusting a new member.... could be spam

there was already a thread about this company from a different member regarding a usb 2.0 hub that I went in on when I saw this thread. It is a yahoo store and I have had good luck with those in the past as has one of my trusted friends so I went in on this along with the usb 2.0 hub. I can report back with any details of scam or whatever but I am hoping I won't have to. I am a little curious about this "does not support XP". How can anything not support XP?

Warrenty

All power supplies have a limited one year warrenty from the date of the recipt.**There is a 7 day replacement only policy on all computer cases from the date of delivery.

Sounds like a legit company to me. (warrEnty)

Presumably means no XP drivers in the box. Also note USB 1.1; that's "High performance in transfer rate??"

This is apparently an older unit but should work okay and the price is right. I have had no bad experience with Yahoo stores, though this guy needs to check his copy for typos a little better.

wow...

 

[hans007]

well.. i ordered it.


they have a pci 802.11b card for $19.99 also with free shipping, with the code on the page.


i ordered teh $19.99 card, and $0 reader + $1.65 CA tax. and well the order went through. i needed the card anyways, and $19.99 is pretty easy.


they have a 802.11g pci card for $43 also , which seemed allright.

I tried with only the reader with promotion code fship101
$0 price + $0 shipping = cost nothing!!

not even credit card information being asked.

Thanks, I tried that and it worked. They will probably cancel the order though. Oh well.

They've also got a category of "Most Selling Items"

This place actually has some decently priced stuff. Here is an external FW/USB enclosure for $48, which is cheaper (by 99-cents) than CompGeeks

It seems like free shipping code is not working...just received emails from their sales, stating that have to pay for shipping.... or purchase $20 or more on none promotional goods

 

[bman46]

I placed an order too...lol

Check sandisk's page. They have some readers that do not support XP. More specifically check this link for the one that I personally have (a smart media reader):

You can get it to work in XP by installing 2000 drivers, and it says driver install was bad, you reboot and plug it in and it works. But its a very weird thing to install the drivers like that.
Just clicking on their list, the SDDR-08 doesn't support XP at all. They have a few others like that. So yes you can have ones that not only dont work automatically in XP but dont work at all. Personally if I was going to buy a reader I wouldn't get any that didn't work fully automatic without drivers in XP (unless it has some features I really wanted).

well they seem to deliver.


i bought the $19.99 wifi pci card. they didnt send the usb reader since it was a promotional item. but hell $19.99 for a hassle free wifi pci card is cheap.

not to mention it came in only two days.

another little XP trick to get a recalcitrant media reader to work is to selectively enable and disable the offending device from My Computer -> Properties.

I picked up a Geeks 4 in 1 about a year ago. Worked great in 98SE. When I bolted it into an Athlon 2200 running XP, the computer took about 15 minutes to boot. I knew it was the reader, so I started fiddling.

1. Hacked the mobo cable to the reader. Spliced it into a "standard" USB cable end. Whenever I wanted to use the reader, I simply plugged it in. That worked OK, although woe-be-me if it was plugged in while I was booting.

2. And then I decided to try the enable/disable route. That worked even better, and I didn't have a cable sticking out the front of the computer.

YMMV
