Let me know if that works for you also, Dave. When first moving to Tiger
months ago, I tried to get a Cardman 4040 PCMCIA reader to work (which had
worked previous to upgrading the OS to Tiger) but failed. Shawn emailed me
and said it was a *bug* w/ Tiger and that at that time, the PCMCIA cards
were not being recognized. I haven't checked to see if this would work
since.
