I've spent the night fighting with trying to get my media card readers
to work. I have a Trust one, a 7dayshop one, and a new one I just got
off eBay cheap. Not one of them will connect reliably to my G5, and it
doesn't matter what ****t I use, either on a hub, or a built-in ****t. The
reader is recognised in Profiler, but they just will not work reliably
when a card is inserted.
Two of them fail part way through a download, so I can get the images by
continually reconnecting the reader. One just refuses altogether,
although it will appear on the desktop, and launches iPhoto, but then
pops up a message about being disconnected. Subsequent reconnects just
don't work at all.
The same cards can be connected and read perfectly when I use the
cameras directly.
Oh, and the same card readers work fine in 10.4 on an old Sawtooth.
Looking on the Apple forums reveals that I'm not alone, something was
broke in 10.5 at some point.
