It would appear that this card reader, a firewire device, is just about
incompatible with all known software.  A friend had issues with it under
Vista, which we didn’t pursue as it was to be converted to XP anyway. XP
proved to be a pain to get working with it and seemed to be rather fussy
about the size of cards.  Intrepid couldn’t see XD cards at all.
There is hope, however.  When trawling around the net for answers the
was an article about it working with Jaunty, which I can’t find now!.
