Hmm, don't know. I've only done this via dedicated USB card readers. If the device supplys a USB Storage interface I think it should work. It wouldn't be able to read it anymore and would probably ask you if you want to reformat it once you disconnect the USB cable. (BTW, I assumed you know that formatting the card will remove all the data on it). > -- /------------------------------------+-------------------------\ |Stephen J.
