I am using the Alfat SD board. It works fine in text mode, and SPI mode. Framed mode is a bit tricky, but easier to work with for parsing the data. What is your app? I have logged about thirty hours working with the board and have encountered every stupid thing my feeble code writing brain could come up with.
