/*
 SD card test

 This example shows how use the utility libraries on which the'
 SD library is based in order to get info about your SD card.
 Very useful for testing a card when you're not sure whether its working or not.

 The circuit:
  * SD card attached to SPI bus as follows:
 ** MOSI - pin 11 on Arduino Uno/Duemilanove/Diecimila
 ** MISO - pin 12 on Arduino Uno/Duemilanove/Diecimila
 ** CLK -  pin 13 on Arduino Uno/Duemilanove/Diecimila
 ** CS -   depends on your SD card shield or module.
           Pin 4 used here for consistency with other Arduino examples
