The question about USB adapters

[spyfrog]

Hello

I recently bought the TF300T here in Sweden.
I would like to have the USB adapter to be able to connect an USB compact flash reader to it (because my camera uses that card format).

However, I can't find an answer to a simple question: what adapter is compatible with TF300T? Apparently there is TWO adapter for USB floating around for Asus Prime tablets.

One has Asus number "90-XB2UOKEX00010-" and is apparently only sold in the US. This supports the TF300 according to several sources (but the TF300T isn't listed as supported - I guess this is an "Euro" model).

In Europe we seam to have the "90-XB2UOKEX00070-". According to the store I contacted this only supports the T101 and T201. On for instance Asus UK's home page the only listed supported models is also T101 and T201. The Asus page in Sweden doesn't even list TF300T as an model that Asus sells and they are impossible to contact.

So I am lost. Why is there TWO models of USB adapters? And do the 90-XB2UOKEX00070- work with TF300T? Or will the 90-XB2UOKEX00010- work with TF300T and if so - how can I buy it when it is only shipped in the US?

You can get the docking keyboard that goes with the pad.... it has a USB hub on it

If I had wanted the keyboard then I would have bought it with my tablet to save money - but I don't want a strange laptop. And I don't want to pay about 150 euros to get that keyboard. What I would like to know about is which USB adaptor to buy - something that costs about 25 euros.

Thank you for that, I didn't mean to sound unthankful.

The adaptor you found is the american(?) version. If you look further down the page Amazon says that they only deliver this in the US.
Also, the compability for this adaptor is one off my original questions - they doesn't list tf300t as one off the compatible models.

It seems that the port will will work for all the models. I have the tf300t so you and I have the same pad so I'm unsure about a regional difference in the pad, but I have not looked into it.
Didn't know it only shipped USA only, sorry

But I would go ahead and pick one up for what I can tell they are all exactly the same.
