Hi Listers Just for interest sake. I solved my card problem. It dawned on me that perhaps when one inserts a card with a different capacity in the PM one should reset PM so that it can "see" the new card. That was just it. After a warm reset PM accepted the card. Thanks for all the suggestions.

Perhaps the clue here is that you formatted with an XP format. I believe the PAC Mate can deal with FAT or FAT32, but not the newer format XP uses--whose initials have suddenly slipped my mind. Nolan
