Does the card say USB enabled on it? If not then it is a standard CF card. The JS only works with USB enabled cards. Tested this last night: My 2GB 80x would not read on the Jumpstart reader, either. I could read it on a no-name USB 2.0 reader.

Jumpstart readers only work with cards that say USB-enabled on them.
Lexar did this as marketing ploy when readers weren't that common. Now readers are so common and cheap, it probably isn't worth the extra expense to them.

I have used several readers with several different CF types. The only
reader that I have had any problem with was a Jumpstart reader. It reads Lexar cards just fine, but some other manufacturer's cards are unrecognizable. The cards are read by other readers, but the Jumpstart reader is being too particular or sumpin'.
