Subject: [Leica] M8 and San Disk Ultra II 2.0 GB cards

I was to suggest to just buy another card reader and see if it works. 
They are so cheap that one can almost regard them as disposable...I keep 
two at home, one downstairs and one upstairs, another one in my bag, and 
a fourth one at the office. All cheap Hama stuff, and all work fine.
