Since you mention it, I have an SD card reader that's fallen apart and
will no longer recognise the card, although the computer recognises it
as a disk drive with no disk. For a while, I could get it to find the
card if I squeezed it between my fingers, but that doesn't work any
more. No sweat, I got a replacement for guess what in a 99p shop. But
just out of curiosity, is there anything I could use it for, e.g.
could the computer waggle any of the card contacts up and down somehow
to control something?
