PCMCIA memory card reader possibilities

Re: PCMCIA memory card reader possibilities
I've got a problem... I bought a 6 in 1 PCMCIA reader and inserted my 256 MB SD card. The combination works just fine on my laptop... but when I install it into the card slot, nothing happens. When I close the display and push the PC Card button, nothing happens. Any ideas????

Re: PCMCIA memory card reader possibilities
An update to my situation... I tried it with an old Smart Media card and it DOES play. I have three SD cards, and no luck with any of them. I have two 1GB generic cards and one 256MB sandisk card. The PCMCIA 6-in-1 reader is also sandisk.
Just to experiment, I reformatted one of the three in FAT32 format (vs. the usual FAT format). Still no luck.
Again, all of these cards are fine in their respective pocket pc and camera devices. They all work and read just fine in the 6-in-1 PCMCIA reader when it is inserted in my laptop.
Why won't these cards work in my Honda? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Make sure the card inside the PCMCIA card is seated in correctly. Do the same for the PCMCIA card in the stereo slot. It's the first time, so go gentle but be firm...haha!

Yep, Elan C is right. I went through this same thing. I mistakenly bought a SD card at first. To my dismay, it would not play. I've sense returned it and purchased a 4 GB Compact Flash card and it has worked flawlessly. My only complaint is the "Random" feature. It always plays the same tracks in the same order. Kind of a pain in the ***...

I'm not a memory card expert, but if it works for you, then enjoy the music! I love my 2 Gig PNY SD card and I didn't do anything special--I just loaded it up with songs!

Question for HyMinded and Adam... which card reader are you using? I've got the SanDisk 6-in-1 reader... still no joy with any of five different SD cards! My son has an XD card... I'll give that a try... but for now, I can only get the old 128mb Smart Media card to read so far.

When mistakenly bought the 2 Gig SD card I tried using a Sandisk 6 in 1 reader as well. As I mentioned earlier, I had no luck with it. I'm now currently using a 4 Gig Compact Flash and using a Sandisk Compact Flash Card reader only, and its been working flawlessly. I have each album seperated into a different folder, so the heiarchy is pretty extensive, and even with that being said, it works like a champ...
