As it turns out I needed to go see a friend this afternoon and she has
two Windows computers. One wouldn't see the card at all, and the other
reported it as defective. In fact, at least my T61 with Fedora 14 can
see it, although it is reported as read-only. 

I also tried reformatting it with Gparted. Gparted saw the device, but
said it could not format it.

So Monday it goes back to Amazon. End of story.
