Correct, the 40GB thing is not my card reader, but it's an external hard 
drive connected by firewire.

I think the card reader is listed under "Melco". My card reader is a 
"Buffalo" brand card reader, but I looked Melco up on the net, and it 
seems like the two brands are the same company.

There's one other oddity here: Why is my Kenwood Audio device (a stereo 
that I can play computer audio with) showing up twice?

Anyway, the Kenwood is working fine, so if it ain't broke...
More importantly, is there anything I can do with this information about 
the Melco thing?
