I have had a 2 Gb SD card refuse to be read by an old card reader and yet
was happily read by 2 newer card readers.
And yet the older card reader would read the smaller SD and CF cards without
problem.
I wonder if the firmware in the older readers cannot handle the larger
capacities.
I had an external 3.5 inch HDD enclosure that spat the dummy on larger HDDs.
I believe it was a firmware issue related to the 48bit LBA limit.
A newer external enclosure had no problems.
In both cases, old firmware had problems with new high capacity media.
Is it possible the Powerbook is oldish and the SD is a large capacity card ?

All of the digital cameras I have ever used, mostly high-end, have spat
the
dummy at Windows formatted cards and require to format the cards
themselves.
Are there digicams out there that cope with Windows formatting? Not
that I
would use it if they did.
aha! you have just explained a failure here
fwiw my minolta dimage Xt is happy with the windoze format of the sd
card, but the powerbook spits the dummy when i try and feed it the images
i thought it was a faulty sd card, but maybe no
thx for the heads up

Strange that the powerbook spits the card, in that I thought OS X could
read both FAT32 and NTFS - it can't however write to NTFS volumes without
third-party tools. Maybe format the card as FAT32 ?
