When I inserted the card into the medical device last night the device couldn't read it at all. It even refused to reformat it. I think it is safe to say that the card is now toast. Luckily I have a spare, which is working fine. I lost a few days data, but that is merely an annoyance. I need to get a new spare, though. Wonder if Free Geek has any plain regular size SD cards. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
