Express card slot/Delkin compact flash adaptor/Lexar 133x 2Gb Cf card
I am not sure if this is a combination that is not in widespread use but does anyone here use some or all of the above to download digital camera images ?.
I have an inconsistant problem the cause of which is difficult to identify, I have a 1st generation Mac Book Pro ( June 2006 ) if I insert the Lexar card using the Delkin adaptor it mounts perfectly, I dismount it in the correct manner via the finder window but if I attempt to re mount the card nothing happens, if I continue to try it has on occasions tripped out the USB ports requiring a re boot. I thought the Lexar card may be faulty so I tried it in a Macally multi card reader but without problems, using my other Lexar 1 Gb 80 x cards I have no problems mounting the cards repeatedly. I borrowed a no brand slow speed 2 Gb card and that mounted each time without problems so where do I look for a solution ?
I have been to the Birmingham ( UK ) Apple store and the same situation happens with their in store machines, I have tried the card/adaptor combination in a friends machine ( the same age as mine ) with the same inconsistant results.
Two questions,
1. Would the fact that the Lexar card being 133x write speed cause a problem by being too fast for the computer ?
1. When inserting the adaptor the red busy light comes on to indicate contact but when dismounting the card via the finder window the light remains on, would removing the card/adaptor combination at this point cause a problem ?
