Hi guys
still trying to get to read my SD expansion card using Mandrake 9.1, 
below is what USBView sees when I have the card reader plugged in:

USB MMC/SD
Manufacturer:
Serial Number: 98EB767CEB
Speed: 12Mb/s (full)
USB Version:  1.10
Device Class: 00(>ifc )
Device Subclass: 00

     Interface Number: 0
         Name: usb-storage
         Alternate Number: 0
         Class: 08(stor.)
         Sub Class: 06
         Protocol: 50
         Number of Endpoints: 2

             Endpoint Address: 01
             Direction: out
             Attribute: 2
             Type: Bulk
             Max Packet Size: 64
             Interval: 0ms

             Endpoint Address: 82
             Direction: in
             Attribute: 2
             Type: Bulk
             Max Packet Size: 64
             Interval: 0ms

and below is what Windows98 Information gleans from the same device
Volume Information
   - File System : FAT
   - Volume Serial Number : O
   - Maximum Filename Length : 255
   - Filename Case : Preserved
   - Case Sensitive File Search : Not supported
   - Unicode Filenames : Supported
Logical Information
   _ Sectors Per Cluster : 32
   _ Bytes Per Sector : 5l2
   _ Tolal Clusters : 3,8O5
   _ Free Clusters : 2O37
   _ Total Bytes : 62,34l,l2O
   _ Free Bytes : 33,374,2O8

I assume that FAT seen by windows is the old fat16 format, which is what 
Linux usually defines as msdos. So the question is how do I get 
Mandrake/Linux to recognise it??
