Re: Issue reading a digital camera card in a notebook

[Bob Crothers <bob.crothers@xxxxxxxxx>]

Even better method is an Eye-Fi card.  It's a regular SDHC card but it also
does WiFi.  When ever it is in range, pictures are automagicaly uploaded to
the computer!  No swapping cards or finding the correct usb cable.  It just
happens.  Cost is about $50 at Best Buy for a 4 Gig card.

And I agree with others.  The problem is probably that the older laptop can
not read an SDHC card which is pretty much the standard these days.  I think
4gb and up is always SDHC.
