Appears so. Ref. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital The system mentioned in the original message is at home. Here at work is another machine, with an unbranded similar adapter, running Wheezy. > What does running lsusb tell you? root@dalton:/home/peter# lsusb | grep eader Bus 006 Device 007: ID 058f:6362 Alcor Micro Corp.

With both a CF card and the NexxTech SDHC in the adapter, plug the USB cable and this is available. dmesg | tail -n <enough> [457000.790959] sd 21:0:0:2: [sde] Attached SCSI removable disk [457000.793867] sd 21:0:0:0: [sdb] Attached SCSI removable disk [457000.793897] sd 21:0:0:1: [sdd] Attached SCSI removable disk [457000.997642] ready [457000.997876] sd 21:0:0:3: [sdf] READ CAPACITY failed [457000.997881] sd 21:0:0:3: [sdf] Result: hostbyte=DID_NO_CONNECT driverbyte=DRIVER_OK [457000.997887] sd 21:0:0:3: [sdf] Sense not available.

If the same CF is in a mini-adapter which is then plugged into the USB socket on the front of the multi-slot adapter, then the CF is readable. So the USB hub in multi-slot adapter works to this extent at least. An old 256 MB Kingston USB stick shows up as a device in PCManFM. Attempting to mount it gives a dialogue with "Not Authorized". The same happens when this stick is plugged in any other USB socket on the machine. fdisk -l reports it and I've had it working before. The failure of PCManFM appears to an independent problem. That's all I have at present; the 4 GB SDHC, the 512 MB CF and the 256 MB USB stick. > Do you have a standard sd as opposed to > an sdhc card that you could test with the reader? Not at hand. > Are you trying this reader for the first time, ... Yes; first systematic attempt at use. > ... did it work for you before with this sdhc card ... Received the SDHC card recently and this is the initial trial. With the card in the XO-1.5 running custom Fedora with Gnome, no problem is evident. > ... on another computer/operating system? Haven't tried either this multi-slot adapter or the one at home anywhere but the machines where they are installed. Either adapter can be plugged into a USB socket on the XO-1.5 when there is time. The leaflet with the AtechFlash adapter lists SD but not SDHC. Firmware upgrade, as mentioned in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital#SDHC , is not mentioned in the leaflet and probably not possible for such a low end adapter. Seems advisable to purchase an inexpensive adapter for SDHC before wasting more time with obsolete hardware. Thanks for the reply, ...
