Re: OT: Mac OSX 10.3.3 and card readers
Hi Cotty, It seems that only Lexar card readers have a problem with 10.3.3. I did repair the disk permissions. I spent an hour on the phone with an apple tech and he took me through a whole range of troubleshooting steps, even to the extent of pressing a reset button on the motherboard. I'm just going to download in system 9 and wait for a bug disk. I also have a sandisk reader at work. I'm going to bring that home tonight and try it here.

Paul Thanks for the heads-up Paul. I have the .3 update but was going to hold off for a few weeks in case anything obvious reared up. Now it has. Sorry for the obvious, but did you repair the disk permissions after you installed the update? FSCK in single user mode? I'll hunt about for any info I can find...

Do you use a firewire or USB card reader? DagT På 18. mar. 2004 kl. 14.21 skrev Paul Stenquist: Hi Cotty, It seems that only Lexar card readers have a problem with 10.3.3.

Re: OT: Mac OSX 10.3.3 and card readers
I was using the Lexar USB card reader that comes with their 1 gig cards. I'm going to try my sandisk reader tonight. I think the problem is restricted to Lexar.

Re: OT: Mac OSX 10.3.3 and card readers
OK, I have a Lexar Firewire card reader, but no Lexar cards. I´m not sure if I should take the chance to upgrade from 10.3.2 yet...

Maybe the update broke the driver for your card reader? Mine's a cheap 6-in-1 USB 1.1 reader BTW. Updates like that make me consider broadband again - pity the broadband market here is so depressing. - Dave http://www.digistar.com/~dmann/
