It's been two days since my last post and I haven't received any more responses. Please permit me to ask if there is anyone reading this list who has this working. Specifically, the ability to replace a card of a different size in a card reader and be able to mount the new card. If I have violated any Kapu or in any other way did a bad. let me know and I will strive to do better in the future. Mahalo Robert
