Emax

would this cf drive
<http://www.addonics.com/products/flash_memory_reader/ad44midecf.asp>  
work? also, the acard aec-7720UW model uses ultra wide scsi connection
and is cheaper than the 7720U but will it still work with an emax? i
looked through the data base already and the W version has not been
listed.
