I have a dreamcast with an SD slot (the latest portable from techknott). I'm having problems with getting dreamshell (4.0 beta 4) to recognise the SD card though. I'm using a 16GB SDHC card formatted in FAT32 - I'm guessing I'm way off - would someone mind letting me know if I am using an acceptable card and also how I should be formatting it?

The other thing is, should the normal file manager within DreamShell recognise the SD card or should I only use the 'DreamShell from SD Loader'? (I have tried both)

Would really appreciate some help!
