Card reader problems
Hi all..As stated in the below thread I had previous troubles with a card reader.. I have since sent the device (YD-8V08) back and received a replacement one back.. I just installed it into my system and have exactly the same problems.. I still have the loud buzzing sound and no floppy drive working but my card reader slots do work.. Surely i cant have another faulty device? lol Any ideas guys?
Cheers Mike |

Hello Cobe,
do you use the device internally or externally? Cheers, Stefan

Thank you.
Can you be sure, that the Reader is connected the correct way? Cheers, Stefan

Hi again Stefan.. I think I have connected it the correct way but just in case could you please explain to me the correct connection to be double sure as for some reason Scythe products never come with instructions
 Cheers Mike |

re-: connecting your device
Hi, i just bought one of these combo drives , pnp couldnt be easier work from the off but took vista a short while to install drivers, if your still in doubt about connecting your device then heres some info -:
on the rear of the unit near the middle at the end of the ribbon connector you will find a small arrow on the casing , this is the end where the stripe on yor ribbon goes, as for the usb cable , one end connects inside the underneath of the drive and the other to an external or internal usb2.0 connector depending on which lead you are using , if using the internal then i believe the colour codes are as follows red=+5v white=D- green=D+ black=GND , you may need to check your mobo to see which way round the connector needs to be. if you dont have a usb2 mobo then it may only run in the slower usb1 mode. |

Power to card reader
I was wondering if the card reader requires the power supply from the floppy to work? It would be nice if that can be used as a portable card reader (although slighty bigger) with just the USB cable when needed.
Any comments are welcome |

Hello jakjak,
for the Floppy-Cardreader-Combo you need the floppy-power-supply to get the floppy-drive working. The Cardreader only needs USB. Cheers, Stefan
