Just bought a $50 Lexar Firewire Compact Flash reader only to find out it is not supported by Tiger or Lexar for Tiger. It would be nice to get a patch from Apple or a driver from Lexar but I'm not holding my breath. Right now I just want to know if there is another firewire CF card reader that will for sure work on my G4 tower running 10.4.5 Thanks!

wow, 1.4g is way faster!
why firewire? i have some generic usb one and it works just fine.
Not compatible? Driver? You are kidding? I have a Lexar FireWire CompactFlash Reader, and I've never even heard of a driver for it. I just plug it in and use it. It shows up as a hard drive if you have a card in it. If the card isn't formatted, just put it in your camera and format it there (don't format on the Mac, as the camera probably wants to have it formatted in a specific way, and possibly add a folder or two).
