I orderd the parallel image mate with little or no understanding of the world of digital imaging. I knew I needed a parallel port connection being my computer does not handle USB. I also needed a drive that handled "smart cards". One of the existing reviewers mentions he received the model"SDDR-08". So I went to the Sandisk sight to find that this is exactly the model I needed. The problem is it isn't what you get. The model I received used the "flashcard" only. Please notice that as of today the description of this item does not give a model number or the type of card it can process. The moral of the story is "if it doesn't say what it does , call first".
