My recent camera upgrade has seen me move from CF to SD cards. I purchased some Sandisk Ultra II 2GB cards, to make sure I got the most from my camera. I foolishly assumed my current reader will be fine.
I have a Mitsumi floppy/card reader installed in my rig, and its worked great, but it will not read my Sandisk card. My laptop reads the card, my old HP external reader reads the card, but the one in my rig will not. I got a smaller SD card with the camera (16mb
) and it reads that fine.
I therefore assume that the higher speed, higher capacity cards have a slightly different spec. If I pick a new reader up on the way home, how can I check it will be OK with the newer cards? Is there anything in the spec I need to look for?
