I have a fully up to date macbook air
a Kingston TravelLite SD / MMC Reader http://www.kingston.com/us/support/technical/products?model=fcr-hs2mmc
And a possibly busted San Disk 8GB SDHC card
A friend asked if I could undelete some files, and I said sure.. if they were accidentally deleted, they should be recoverable. But the flashdrive doesn't even show up as a line item in Apple's Disk Utility software. When I insert my older 512 disk, it comes right up, files and folders and a Disk Utility Line Item.
So it ocurred to me, maybe the SanDisk 8GB SDHC drive is dead, or maybe this old trusty Kingston reader pre-dates "SDHC" and doesn't do "SDHC"?

SDHC host devices are required to accept older SD cards.[1] However, older host devices do not recognize SDHC or SDXC memory cards, although some devices can do so through a firmware upgrade.[7] Older Windows operating systems released before Windows 7 require patches or service packs to support access to SDHC cards.
Is it possible my Kingston Memory card reader doesn't support SDHC? or is this a simple matter of "if the disk fits" it should just work?
Is the firmware / software compatibility discussed in the wiki article all Mac OS / Window level stuff? I don't know what's in this little reader.. if there is a little chipset and such that might not support SDHC? or if it's just a bunch of copper traces connecting the right USB "pins"
