First, what version of Mac OS are you running? Have you installed all the requisite USB system software? Second, does the USB card seat right? The card CAN go in just far enough to be recognized enough to mount, but not enough to fully transmit all the needed signals. Recall that there's that little issue of the 'keyed' shape of the end of the card. And sometimes there's a little too much of the plastic overcoat on the outside of the card & it sometimes needs to get peeled off. And don't forget that you must eject the card BEFORE you shut down or restart, or else it won't remount. Finally, if the card doesn't eject when you drag it to the trash, then there's a little hole where you can insert an unbent paper clip, much as you can do to eject a stuck disk. - Eric. -- Eric Strobel ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) ===================================================================== If aviation had grown as slowly as space travel, the first paying customer would have flown in 1943 -- in the 1,657th expendable Wright Flyer. ===================================================================== -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
