This is a FLASH card for a Sony camera. It is smaller than you describe,
2 inches long, 7/8 inch wide, and 1/8 inch thick (approx). It is a

/dev/sda1 as a vfat device. Is that what we're trying to do? or is it
some proprietary format device that doesn't plug into a standard
cardreader?

I don't own a digital camera, so I can't answer that. It mounts fine
using the Dazzle USB card reader dock, with Windows XP; the same
hardware (dock and card) does not mount with Debian.
