Thanks Dave,

I have looked at the filedisk program your mentioned, but I don't 
see (or more correctly, understand :-) how I can use that for 
accessing the individual sectors on the SD card ?
I'm also more after some "code snippets" that will allow me access 
to the SD cards sectors from within a C++ or C# application, 
basically what I would need, is just the "PC equivivalent" of the 
mmc_read_block() and mmc_write_block() in the Philips apps example 
code, that way my "PC log file displayer" application can just look 
at the SD card, and show the circular data (a large logfile) from 
the card...

Regards,
Carsten
