Additionally, alternate PC Card readers do work with DEXIS installations, but are unsupported by DEXIS. Synchrotech has several large CFFIRE800 READER
DEXIS integrators utilizing our PCMCIA PC Card readers based on the RICOH chipset. However, we only recommend this for end users
with enough technical knowledge to support themselves, as neither DEXIS nor Synchrotech will do so. In other words such installations
are known to work, but unsupported. Please see the PCI to PC Card overview section of our site for our whole range of available PCMCIA
PC Card Readers.
