MSD question for PX3

[Mike Parkes]

Hello group, happy holidays!
Hey I am trying to get the PX3 working with a usb sd card reader (which
works fine on the pc)... and when I plug this into the USB port on the px3
the display just freezes up, no "M" appears on the display. I have tried
plugging this in both with and without an SD card in it, and same results
the px3 freezes until I unplug it. Is this the wrong kind of drive? Thanks
for any help.

Does the PX3 work with just the USB stick by itself.  If so, PX3 USB circuit
may not be capable of supplying the current the card reader needs.

Mike,

What happens if you plug a regular USB flashdrive into the PX3?
The USB SD card reader may be different (I just don't know).
While there is space in the computer to handle drivers for an SD card
reader, the PX3 is more limited in its capability, the support for flash
drives must be coded in firmware.
