Fuji xD card and card readers

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.dcameras (More info?)

not all card readers can read cards bigger than 128mb without a firmware
upgrade (i had to do my lexar one before it would read my 256mb xD card)

what is the capacity of your xD card?

get the olympus MAUSB100 - works as a reader/writer - is very small and
doubles an a flash keyring disc

have a look on this link:
