My three 2GB SanDisk Ultra II cards would not mount on my computer like other cards. I'm told my older Lexar Multi-Card Reader did not have the needed firmware (on the card reader itself, not a driver on my computer) to read these cards. Lexar has a page from 2006 <http:// www.lexar.com/2gbsd/index.html> on compatibility issues for 2GB SD cards - no mention of the M8, or many newer cameras or readers. A new Belkin USB 2.0 Multimedia Reader & Writer has solved this problem. I'm still using USB 1.x.
