Hello, thanks for this explanation. So the switch only triggers 
mount/umount commands. That's great. This hopefully means I can mount 
normal sized MMC card. Too bad the slot is too thin to put SD card here 
which probably means SD cards are not supported. Too bad I cannot watch 
photos from camera with SD cards :-( Or should I push the SD card harder 
into the slot?

I tried MMC card from my Palm but there is no partition table. This 
probably explains why the device node for mmc disappeared from /dev/ 
directory and mount command does not work.

BTW I've got the device from developer program last week. Thank you very 
much Maemo team. Now I'm trying to install scratchbox and all the stuff 
and hopefully I'll have my own Hello World real soon :)
