That's great news!  (About the reader working, not about going off half
cocked. :-))  To be fair, the troubles I was relating were from a
considerable time ago.  There's no excuse for a manufacturer NOT to have
their software drivers sorted out by now.  In particular and recently
I've had compatibility problems with Lexar cards in two other readers
and the Lexar Jumpshot reader refusing to talk to anything but Lexar
cards.  Both incompatible and expensive: an unbeatable combination!

Since you now have the reader, all you need is a 925kb .fir file.  If
you like, I can send you the file and the pdf instructions.  Let me
know.
