    I bought a used Zepto Znote 6224W a while ago and I installed Windows 7 on it and I can't get the card reader to work. Tried installing the Vista Driver but nothing shows up when I insert a SD card into the reader.
    The driver i a few years old. Its from 2005. Can't find a newer one on Zepto's homepage neither.
    Anyone know a driver that works?
    The SD card reader lamp is blinking when I insert a SD card so I think it works but it could of course be a broken reader. Never tried on XP.

    I think the card reader controller is a Texas Instruments FlashMedia controller. Google for a newer (ideally Windows 7) driver.

    I've got the 6324W (white version of the 6224W) the card reader is a texas instruments one. I use the standard windows driver that win7 installed. It installed it as a "SDA Standard Compliant SD Host Controller". Try uninstalling it from the device manager (make sure you tick the delete driver files check box) and reboot. Win7 should find them automatically for you.
