OK, I've had a bit more time to troubleshoot.  After trying all of my
USB memory sticks, one does work.  It is a 256M scandisk cruzer.  So,
my problem is some kind of compatability problem with certain sticks.
What brand and size has worked on yours?




I'm using the one they shipped with my card.  It's not a brand I've
heard of: "Mobile Hard Disk", 128MB.  One thing I noted in the
documentation is that the USB drive must be formated FAT16 (sometimes
written just as FAT).  If you've formatted the drive as FAT32, it
won't work.



So small drives are more likely to work--and now hard to find.


But findable.  ;-)
