It turns out that there are two kinds of cards that look the same, but 
on a Dell laptop I have, one kind won't be recognized and the other 
works. I don't remember
which is which, or what they are called. One is SD, the other something 
else. Of course, I found out the hard way, but it really doesn't matter, 
since I don't need to
use the laptop for that.
