Thanks, Frank.

I tried the Reset function in the Menu just now.  No difference.

I didn't try another computer yet.  Maybe my Mac has been set up  
badly.  I will try it on my Mac at work tomorrow.

I am using 8GB SDHC cards, and also a 512MB SD card.  None are working  
in the card reader.  They all work in camera for the purpose of  
uploading images.  But I only get a desktop mountable disk using the  
M9, as the M9 has a Mass Storage disk option.  It seems the M8 does  
not, so it can only upload images when USB connected to a computer,  
not download firmware upgrade files like the connected M9 can.

My two card readers are both $5 cheapies.  Even if they cannot use  
SDHC cards, they should be able to use the 512MB card.  They could  
read those cards when formatted with my Lumix, but not after being  
formatted with my Ms.

Peter
