USB Card Reader Apple Optimized Legacy Driver (10.6.5/10.6.6/10.6.7/10.6.8)

Andy Vandijck · November 24, 2010

Thanks to Andy for his magic, again. My excellent Dell U2410 monitor has an embedded SD reader and USB hub, and with the guides I was able to make it a native SD reader!

A note to those that will edit the plist manually, like myself. The VendorID and ProductID to change are the ones near the end of each entry, not the ones in the middle of the <key> that I am highlighting for your convenience:

Andy, I also inserted the Serial Number of my USB reader, and the Product Revision Level that I got from System Profiler, too. Is it wrong that I changed these values?

No, this shouldn't cause problems.

Andy,

Cheers. Brilliant Stuff !

Andy Vandijck · November 26, 2010

Andy,
Cheers. Brilliant Stuff !

Thanks...

doom13 · December 5, 2010

im using acer AO HAPPY.. my internal card reader already appear on sytem profiler applying what Andy said.. but SD card never shown on desktop or finder.. really need help..

Product ID 0x6250 ->integer 25168

Vendor ID 0x0cf2 ->integer 3314

what wrong with my kext?

morfy · December 10, 2010

Id from my card reader usb are:

It works on my system. Loaded the kext in EFI partition works the same.

kerr · December 10, 2010

Thanks Andy

Hi,

i have Ven-ID 0x058f and prod. ID 0x6362. I edited the Infoplist, but not luck. Can you help me please?

thx

Info.plist.zip

kerr · December 12, 2010

you must convert hex values to decimal. either you forgot, or decimal values are wrong.

Acid_Burn · December 12, 2010

why?

0x6362 = 25442

0x058f = 1423

But no luck....

kerr · December 12, 2010

why?

because, as you can see, all values in plist are decimal. not all idvendor and idproduct keys need to be changed, i think. go back and read the thread, it's two pages only, or wait till i get back home.

Edit: MacKonsti was kind enough to highlight which values must be replaced. This should work for you.

Acid_Burn · December 12, 2010

So, i edit the Info.Plist with:

Prod.ID = 25442

Vendor-ID = 1423

Vendor Identification = Generic

Product Indentification = USB SD Reader

It works!!!!

Twa · December 12, 2010

What about SDcard inside a phone and this phone connect as a USB ?

it worked fine as a USB , but i want it connect as a SDcard

Acid_Burn · December 12, 2010

On Andys first Posting shows a picture with SD-Card Info in CardReader (Picture 1). On my Sys-Profiler shows only Info of my Card-Reader without Info of SD-Card (Picture 2).

Is this an Error?

djolens81 · January 6, 2011

Dear,

Please, please, please can you compile the kext for me or provide some help with it :

Product Id : 0x6362 = 61542

Vendor Id : 0x058f = 2617

I try everything, but still nothing, only mass storage device and no card reader.

In atach is info.plist what's wrong in it?

Thank you in advance !!!

Hi.

Is there some change with 10.6.6. It is working well with 10.6.5 but no more with 10.6.6.

In fact, it works as I've got the SD icon, but nothing in Information System... Just saying that I haven't got any Apple Memory Reader...

That's odd...

I'll check it out when I've upgraded to 10.6.6...

djolens81 · January 6, 2011

Dear All,

Is there anybody that can help me?

VMonHeros · January 6, 2011

Dear All,

Is there anybody that can help me?

From a first look, you're not doing all the change needed . If I remind well, you have to change 5 times the combo "device, Vendor" in you Plist.

I upload my Plist, my idProduct = 25446 and idVendor = 1423. So replace my Ids with your one.

Please, do not forget after to use the Kext Utility to ensure the good rights.

I just updated my ICH7 Q9550 mobo to 10.6.6 and the card reader legacy kext by Andy works perfectly. I had it placed in /E/E and not /S/L/E. Rebooted, tried now an SD card from my camera, works! I suggest, mate, that you re-do the process and clear your caches, fix your permissions...

VMonHeros · January 7, 2011

ks for the information .Than

However I previously rebuilt the Kext Cache multiple time. And it is yet in /E/E. It is exactly the same Kext that I used with 10.6.5...

As I explained, I works as I see the SD card Icon on the desktop and not a disk icon when I plug an SD card.

It is just that if you go to "System Information" and check for the card reader, you will have the "no Apple SD card reader", and not you card reader information.

Had you check in "System Information" ?

I did what you told me, but still nothing, i can't see card reader... :dev:

Any other idea?

Dear,

Please, please, please can you compile the kext for me or provide some help with it :

Product Id : 0x6362 = 61542

Vendor Id : 0x058f = 2617

Thank you in advance !!!

My HP Pavilion system has an internal card reader and the hex product/vendor ID values are the same as yours. However, when I use the SL 10.6.5 calculator I get very different decimal values that yours.

For me, 0x6362 = dec. 25442 and 0x58f = dec. 1423. When I place those values in the Info.plist file I get a working AnyCardReader kext. It shows as an internal card reader in System Profiler.

Hope this helps - Good Luck
