Hi Beakybird,
cards do mess up. I was happily using a usb 128mb "Pen drive "( I think you call them in the USA). Worked fine for months . One day I plugged it in, came up with message " needs formatting" . Anyway I formatted it, knowing I'd lose my data (didn't matter because I had data backed up on PC. ). Still didn't work. Same message kept coming up.
Pen drive does still work in my pc though.

It is strange that neither of your cards work though.

I once formatted one of my Smart Media cards in a card reader connected to my PC.
Was no longer able to use it in my psr1500 after that.

Sorry can't help.

best wishes
Rikki
