Thanks, Michael. 862 is, if I'm not mistaken, the old IBM encoding. Amore common encoding today is cp1255 or 1255, which it turns out is asuperset of iso8859-8 and that's why Linux does not need iso8859-8.Codepage cp1255 and 1255 did not help me read the card, though(Non-ascii characters in filenames remained as question marks). Anyother ideas? Thanks.
