weird marketing nonsense about how "3GB reserved for music". When I<br>
plug the card into a reader attached to a linux box, its always<br>
detected as a 1GB card:<br>

<br>
I'm guessing that there's something weird going on with the card that<br>
hides 3GB from the OS somehow. Has anyone run into this before? Any<br>
tips on how to unhide the missing 3GB?<br>
<br>
thanks<br>
