These things
do have 5 different tracks, 4 in subdirectories including the MP3 and in the
parent directory are the horrendous WAV files. I will have to play with 'grip'
and see how it works. K3b did a great job.

It is a USB card reader.... Here is the messages tail from when the SD
card is inserted
in the card reader:

I should have defined things more clearly. 'The Card" should be the SD card
and the other is the pcmcia card which I should have just called the pc card...
Here is the messages tail of the insertion of the SD card into the PC card...

the card I was trying was a 128Mb card, this is a 1Gb card and I see some-
thing that makes me suspect in the last line there where it indicated 0 sectors.
The other card also showed 0 (I went off and left it at home so I am using the
one I have at hand), here is what I found from messages on it:
Jan 14 22:01:00 RF-mobile kernel: hde: CF Card, CFA DISK drive

Jan 14 22:01:04 RF-mobile kernel: ide-cs: hde: Vcc = 3.3, Vpp = 0.0
I sure wish I had captured this when it was working, but never even thought
about it.

Hey you are giving me places to look and ideas to think about, when I used
to drive airplanes we always said 4 eyes in the cockpit were better than two
particularly when both are scanning the sky or instrument panel.
