I'm not saying that this doesn't work, but the reason it would make a
difference is because there is a problem somewhere.  The electrical
specifications and formatting of the FLASH card are very well documented,
and I'm stunned that people accept this poor level of engineering from the
manufacturers.

Could this possibly be urban myth that as simply propagated from earlier
compatibility issues that have long since been alleviated?

I have three consumer level digicams, and have not had this problem at all,
and I swap cards between them and my notebook computer (using a PCMCIA
adapter) quite frequently.

Regards,

Austin
