Delock 91694 FireWire 800 CompactFlash Reader and Mac OS X El Capitan (10.11+)
Just tested the Delock 91694 FireWire 800 CompactFlash Reader under Mac OS X El Capitan (10.11.1). The Delock's 91694 FireWire 800 Reader worked flawlessly, mounting two different SanDisk Extreme® CompactFlash 60MB/s UDMA 16GB cards, and a Transcend 4GB 133X card. Under 10.4 through 10.9 iPhoto opened automatically when the reader was connected or when new CompactFlash cards were inserted. Mac OS X El Capitan is the second Mac OS version to deploy the new Photos app, which does not automatically launch. However, when we opened Photos and navigated to the import function, the CompactFlash card present in the reader was there and ready for importing with the preview feature. We had no issues with the Delock 91694 FireWire 800 CompactFlash Reader under Mac OS X El Capitan (10.11+). Here is a screen shot of the PCM-CR-FW81ECF-03 / 91694 working under Mac OS X El Capitan (10.11.1). Our MacBook Pro has a FireWire 800 port and a Thunderbolt port.   |
Delock 91694 FireWire 800 CompactFlash Reader and Mac OS X Yosemite (10.10+)
We have had a number of customers ask us if the Delock 91694 FireWire 800 CompactFlash Reader works under Mac OS X Yosemite (10.10+). Since we are still running 10.9.5 on our machines, we obtained an extra hard disk, attached it using a Delock Thunderbolt Dock, cloned our system, and then upgraded the clone to Mac OS X Yosemite. Delock's 91694 FireWire 800 Reader worked just fine, mounting two different SanDisk Extreme® CompactFlash 60MB/s UDMA 16GB cards. Under 10.4 through 10.9 iPhoto would open automatically when the reader was connected or when a new CompactFlash card was inserted. Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite features a new app called Photos, and its behavior is somewhat different in that it did not automatically launch. However, when we opened Photos and navigated to the import function, the CompactFlash card present in the reader was there and ready for importing. By and large, we can say that we had no problems with the Delock 91694 FireWire 800 CompactFlash Reader under Mac OS X Yosemite (10.10+). Obviously your mileage may vary. We will test the under Mac OS X El Capitan sometime shortly after it is released. Here is a screen shot of the reader working under Mac OS X Yosemite (10.10+).

Biwin's 300X CompactFlash tested under Xubuntu Linux with our Delock 91694 FireWire CompactFlash Reader
We needed to test some samples of Biwin Semiconductor (HK) Company Limited's 300X CompactFlash Cards. In the interst of trying something new we decided to try change test platforms. Rather than use our iMac, we used a Xubuntu Linux desktop and our high performance Delock 91694 FireWire CF CompactFlash Reader FireWire 800/IEEE 1394B UDMA. The great news is that the FireWire reader works just fine under Linux, and we were able to complete our benchmarks tests on these non-DLSR grade CompactFlash cards. We ran Xubuntu 12.04.2 LTS on our test machine, am Intel Core2 6300 @ 1.86GHz with 2GB RAM. The reader was our Delock 91694 FireWire CF CompactFlash Reader FireWire 800/IEEE 1394B UDMA. We used Disk Utility 3.0.2 to create the benchmarks. Here are the benchmarks for the Binwin cards.
