No.  IT should work fine.  However, most toshiba laptops have issues
in -stable at the moment.  I should put together a MFC patch to see if
the issues that I think I've fixed really are fixed or not.

: When I insert both this

: detects and installs the 2nd card.

This sounds like the classic "ToPIC" problem.

Cool.  Lemme know if you need more help.  I don't know if I'll be able
to help much, but I'll do my best.
