Obviously it's usable, otherwise this group wouldn't be here.

Does this ChipDrive have a light on it?
Does it go on for a split second when you put the card in?
Do you have any other software from the Towitoko people that works with this
device to verify that it works?
Have you turned on the debug tracing messages to see if the OCF is aware of
the card?
Have you attempted any reasonable amount of debugging before asserting that
the OCF doesn't work?

P.S.   Maybe you should use a less incendiary subject line for your next
post.
