Z60m Card Reader

[invictus]

Is the 3-in-1 card reader SDHC (SD 2.0) compliant? I was looking into getting a SDHC card and was wondering if my Z60m would support it.

Thanks.

Hello Jon,

although your question may be 1,5 years old, I couldn't find any reliable answer, so I tried it myself. Hope this helps people who are trying to get their SDHC cards running on a Z60m. I've got a 2529 ETG.

I got a Transcend 4 GB SDHC Class6 card. It's this one:

At first, it wouldn't want to work. I tried the well-known hotfix for Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923293
and upgraded the Lenovo drivers

Nothing changed. Then I did some research on the Card reader's hardware. It seems to be a Ricoh 5C832:

But there isn't any general driver available for download.

In the end, I uninstalled the driver and reinstalled it. Just by curiosity, I installed a general SDA-compatible default driver.

And, luckily, the card reader started to work and reads my SDHC without any problem!

I am a bit confused because all the updates and new drivers didn't work, just the old MS default driver from 2002.

Bye,
Stephan

Well this doesn't help much (just kidding)

I still haven't gotten a bigger card than my current 1GB SD card. I guess I'll have to go and try it like you and see if it'll work.

But your news does sound encouraging...

Thanks for the input.

I wish I'd kept the 8GB SDHC card that I bought for testing with an Asus EEE (and eventually sold along with the EEE) to find out. All that I have is a 2GB regular SD for my Canon PowerShot; I'd never have a reason to use a SD card as permanent storage in my Z60m, I don't think.

I have also tried both of these as well and I still can use the SDHC card on my computer.

Can someone please help me here as well. I also have a Z60m thinkpad and I can not get my 8gb pny optima SDHC card to work on it. my thinkpad just won't read it. I have been looking for the file that I think Stephen was talking about. Sdbus.inf is the file but I can't find this file anywhere. I have been searching continuously for the last 8 hours and I am about to go crazy. Can someone please help!
