Hardware Overview
The Universal Reader/Writer makes it easy to read files directly off digital media cards.
The Universal Reader/Writer can read/write CompactFlash Type l and ll, IBM Microdrive,
Memory Stick, SmartMedia, MultiMediaCards, and SD Cards. You can connect your
Universal Reader/Writer to computers with USB 1.1 (Full-speed) or USB 2.0 (Hi-Speed)

Dazzle OnDVD (PCs only)
Digital cameras allow you to take an unlimited number of pictures that quickly pile up on
your computer and become difficult to manage. With OnDVD, you can take your digital pic-
tures, arrange them in a timeline, edit your photos, add background music and burn a
slideshow to a CD which can be played back on a home DVD player. You can install OnDVD
following the instructions on page 11 of this guide. After installing OnDVD, you can launch
it from the Start>Programs>OnDVD menu. For a tutorial on creating Slideshows, refer to
your OnDVD User’s Guide (included on the Dazzle Installation CD).
