#6134 — 8GB SD card

We have just bought a new cammera that uses 8GB SD card.

whwen I try yto access the card - th eIyonix crashews.

This with 5.18 (16-Jan-12) and Fat32FS

Clicking on the drive, the Iyonix goes dead for about 15 seconds (mouse
ony, but no buttons or keys work), then the hourglass turns on for about
15 seconds, then "The disk drive is empty" comes up.

Is there any way to read such cards? I thought Fat32FS could handle such
cards.

Is the card actually FAT formatted?

Good point.

The Mac reports it as "MS DOS (FAT32)"

So that's not the problem.

Are you using an up to date version of Fat32FS?  Many versions have
been released, with much improving stability.

1.39 which seems to be the latest.

It may be your card reader.
I've got one that I used to use which worked up to 4 Gb but when I
bought a 16 Gb card it behaved as you describe

I've now bought a new card reader from Gizoo ( www.gizoo.co.uk ) £2.95
which handles up to 16 Gb with no problem.

It is the card reader. Cards over 4GB are SDHC cards, *not* SD cards, 
and need a SDHC card reader. They wont work with SD readers.

Definitely. 1 or 2 or 4 GB SDSC max.

(Interesting to see that Wikipedia calls them all SD cards but the
originals are often referred to as SDSC to differentiate. SDHC redirects
to SD!)

I own several of these and never had a problem with RISC OS + Iyonix +
Fat32FS (They work also here with WindowsXP, Win7, Mac fluffy kitten, and
Android 4.0)

EXCEPT THAT such USB dongles will not fit in the recessed slots in the
front of Iyonices. (D'oh!). You will need something like this too:

The card reader/floppy drive in the front of Myonix simply gathers dust.
