Re: SD -> USB card reader ?

Absolutely!! I have not put the new ogg player online yet though. It 
looks slightly different to those online. It takes CF cards.  I had 
planned on making an OT post to the list once the new ogg players were 
online. I am just confirming the firmware upgradeability for ogg before 
I put the product online. They will play MP3's, WMA's and Ogg's.

We will pay your GST on certain products, like the ogg vorbis player. We 
will make some special bundles available too, maybe with CF cards 
included for a special price. We will decide once the things are online. 
Don't worry, we'll make it worth your while.

Cheers

Hi,

Not entirely true. A lot of them do not strictly adhere to 
the USB mass 
storage protocol - thus the need for a driver disk in many 
cases. I have 
a packard bell 6 in 1 that I have never gotten working in 
Linux though 
others have I heard. I and a business partner have a new web 
site up and 
running which sells them (6 in 1 USB 2.0 Reader/Writers) online:
http://www.flashcards.co.nz but I have not tried the new USB 
2.0 ones we 
carry with Linux. I will let you know when I find out. As an aside, 
there was a discussion onlist about hardware personal ogg vorbis 
players. We have just brought in a shipment and will be 
adding them to 
the site soon. They play mp3, ogg and wma. That may be of interest to 
the list at some stage too.

Cheers

Jason

PS, sorry for the shameless free plug. =)

Hello,

My understanding is that _any_ SD -> USB card reader should 
     

work (except for
   

the "secure" part, I am not interested in) and should be 
     

seen as an ordinary
   

USB mass storage device (similar to the CF -> USB card readers).

Am I right ? ... or wrong ?

If I am wrong ... are there particular brand/models of SD 
     

USB readers which would work ?
   

TIA

Cheers,
