I'll try 0.6 again with the external card reader and let you know (I can
post it).
I really can't say what the difference is between the built-in and

I did note that the drivers on my computers go back to 2000-2004 ish. I
recently updated my WinXP, but there were no new SD drivers that I could
see. Exploration continues!
