[ale] Sandisk

[Chris Fowler]

Mine is a 33 or 31.  Not sure.

Precautions:
I would verify that you have the card unmounted before removing it.
Also, only mount in RW mode as needed.  My camera formats the card
as VFAT.

Problems:
The only problem I get is an /dev/sda error when shutting down
the system.  The card has been unmounted, I just get what seems to be
read errors?  Also, I unplug the Sandisk usually before I issue 'halt
-p'.  I use this device on an HP ZE1250 laptop.  Not a desktop.
