This 8-port Smart Card Reader can be conveniently positioned at the front of your PC enabling the reading of all popular flash cards in a single location. Compatible with high capacity memory cards (SDHC), has dedicated ports for microSD and M2 ports, this eliminates the need for any card adapters.
SIMedit software enables reading and writing to mobile phone SIM cards. Very handy for backing up phonebook contacts, transferring data between the SIM cards or changing PIN numbers. The smart card port offers secure online banking (requires bank support) or enables work with security access cards.

Installed on Windows 7 64-bit. Had same problem with Windows automatically "recognising" the device as an infra-red port. Akasa's own instructions show how to overcome this issue: http://www.akasa.com.tw/update.php?tpl=product/product.detail.tpl&no=181&type=Card%20Reader/Hub&type_sub=Card%20Reader&model=AK-ICR-05 http://www.akasa.com.tw/download/manual/Windows%207%20%2832%20and%2064bit%29%20installation%20manual.pdf If you follow Akasa's instructions, you can get the device working without disabling anything. There was previously an issue with driver/software links on Akasa's website but they quickly resolved this after I let them know about it. In general their technical support people were helpful and responsive, so if anyone finds any other issues I'm sure they won't struggle for long before overcoming them.

Tricky with Windows 7
Reviewed by Anonymous Review Posted 27/10/2009
A nice looking unit, easy to fit and connect. However W7 64bit decided it was an infra-red device. Went MS's USB help page and solved it by disabling the USB root hub and then reinstalling.
