196 Why should users only first eject the adapter and then put the CFs into the slots?Jun-22-09
197 Is it possible to take out just one Compact Flash card and work with the other?Jun-22-09
One can unmount and remove one CF card and still access the other CF card. However, the adapter must be powered off and ejected to insert a CF card.

494 I'm having trouble reading two SanDisk Extremes or Extreme Pros, or the system is asking me to format an already-formatted card. Why?Mar-24-10
The SanDisk Extreme and Extreme Pro CF cards have design issues that prevent them from working in a dual-card reader in both Mac OS X and Windows. (See our compact flash compatibility on the product page: sonnettech.com/product/produalcfadapterexpress34.html.) SanDisk did not design the Extreme and Extreme Pro to correct ATA specifications. These two Sandisk models can be used as a master ATA device (CR reader upper slot), but not reliably as a slave device (CF Reader lower slot). You should be able to read the Extreme and Extreme Pro one at a time from the upper slot, but be sure that the lower slot is empty. SanDisk Basic, Ultra II, Extreme III and Extreme IV work fine, as do all cards we have tested from Transcend, Lexar and Kingston. For a trouble-free 90MB/sec CF card, we recommend the Lexar Professional 600X or Transcend 600X CF card. If you are not using a SanDisk Extreme or Extreme Pro and are experiencing these problems, contact Sonnet technical support.

778 I have a 17" MacBook Pro 6,1 and my ExpressCard does not work after upgrading to Mavericks.Dec-30-13
There is a bug in the Apple ExpressCard driver specific to 10.9 (and 10.9.1) that prevents ExpressCards from initializing in the MBP 6,1. We have reported it to Apple and expect Apple to fix it in a future release. In the meantime, we have a patcher for you.

Download the Qio System Installer here http://www.sonnettech.com/support/kb/kb.php?cat=402&expand=_a3&action=b496#b496

When you get to the installation type, click \u8220 Customize\u8221 , deselect everything but IOPCIFamily, and click \u8220 Install\u8221 . Restart and all should be well. When Apple updates the ExpressCard Driver, it will overwrite the old driver with the Sonnet patch, so there will never be a need to uninstall.
