hmm! looking around, i see a lexar cf usb reader -- which says 'supports all cf cards up to 128mb.' and looking further, i see 'sandisk pc card adapter for cf' being listed separately from 'sandisk pc card for ultra cf' -- and 'sandisk ultra ii 256mb cf card.' so maybe 256mb is 'ultra' cf and has different requirements? of course, it could just be sandisk marketing drivel.. a nikon coolpix bundle includes a usb reader for 'type i and type ii' cf cards. however 'type i' and 'type ii' appear to refer to formfactor, not electronic profile. and as a final kick in the head, the same pcmcia adapter works just fine with the 256mb card .. in my windows 2000 machine. so i guess i'll try to find a usb reader that can handle it. failing that, i guess i'll return the 256mb cf card and see if i have problems with a 128mb card. bah. -- #ken P-)} Ken Coar, Sanagendamgagwedweinini http://Golux.Com/coar/ Author, developer, opinionist http://Apache-Server.Com/ "Millennium hand and shrimp!" -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/ TriLUG PGP Keyring : http://trilug.org/~chrish/trilug.asc
