   Thanks, Andy!   
   So far, the way which works easiest is to plug the USB card reader in a    
   Windows machine, enable sharing, connect from eCS via Ethernet and    
   access the files this way. Maybe not very elegant, but the other way    
   I'll never be able to read cards that have been formatted in the camera.   
   I have several Nikon cameras, and they all use SD cards and create a    
   camera-specific directory structure during formatting or on first use.    
   Each camera can only see its own pictures on that card. Windows (FCW)    
   indicates that 1 and 2 GB cards are FAT and 4 GB cards are FAT32. No    
   clue whether this is "pure" FAT/FAT32 or something like what Kris    
   suspects. But since eCS has absolutely no problem with 2 GB cards, I    
   assume it is "normal" FAT. To my astonishment, PMView even creates    
   thumbnail pictures _on the FAT card_ - I had always thought that was    
   HPFS specific because they were stored in extended attributes.   
   I guess I have to live with eCS not being able to read customary    
   camera-formatted memory cards > 2 GB.   
   Thanks again and best regards,
