I will keep that in mind. I am running under Linux, so my experiences will be a little different than those in your URL. I am using a 1 gb H, but haven't tried my 2gb MB. Guess I should try it too.

I had two readers that made two of my cards unusable, eventually I purchased an Olympus MA-USB200 (I wanted the 300, but Radio shack didn't have it!) adapter and since then no problems. I think this only effects cards that are 1GB+ (Type H), Type M cards are OK. If you notice that write/read times are taking too long, you should probably just use the USB to the camera...

Linux doesn't want to allow the USB function to work. Lets just say it is great minds and leave it at that. :)

I, too bought a card reader today, though mine is externl and cost $23.00. I'm a bit put out at my reason for buying, though. For several versions of Linux, I've been downloading pictures off our digital cameras with a USB cable. I just upgraded to Kubuntu 7.1 and all of a sudden, I couldn't download pictures anymore. The camera function has never worked properly, but in the past, I was always offered a second option where the computer saw the camera as a memory stick, no biggie. With 7.1 it recognises the camera and then does nothing. That has long been my major gripe with Linux; with every new release something gets fixed and something gets broken. This time it happened to be something I need. Oh well, it's still 1000 times better than Windows. Henry I guess great minds think alike, or sumthin’.
