Yesterday I bought a "fast, 70x" 512MB CF-card that formats well in the camera (in fact the Nikon saw it right out of the box, 525 pix in "fine" quality) BUT: When I put it in the reader it doesn't mount under OSX (message: OSX can't read blah blah) and when I use Disk Utility to check it DU tells me that Desktop DF has too many clusters for a non-FAT partition, although it also says before in Phase 1: Read FAT. So DU has already determined that it's a FAT-disk. What gives?? When I boot into OS9 with the card in the reader plugged in the beige just crashes (freezes at half empty desktop) when formatted or otherwise it asks to format it and all goes well. When I put the card back in the Nikon all seems well. Can the card-reader be defective? I could use the card before to migrate data from my beige to an iMac when it was formatted as HFS+.
Not exactly an answer to your question, but I always download directly from the camera. Do you ever do this? Just curious mainly, as it always seemed to me to be the logical way to do things. Fast and easy, and no wear on the contacts. Has worked flawlessly for me. Comments? Thanks.
