Plus, if you've got any kind of USB2.0 hub between the Cybook and the Mac, take the hub out of the loop. The Cybook works best when it's attached to one of the two primary USB ports. And the Cybook is USB1.1 compatible.

Disk Utility gives me 6 options: 4 are Mac-specific, 1 is Unix, and 1 is MS-DOS. I've tried this with both the 2 GB card from Bookeen, and with a 1 GB card from Toshiba that I picked up on Monday. Same results. And the Cybook is plugged directly into my computer's USB port. The only thing in between the SD card and the computer is the Cybook itself.

I don't have any problem seeing the Cybook itself, and its 64 MB of built-in storage. So USB 1.1 isn't an issue there. It's just SD cards.
