Did that and sure enough fdisk showed a couple of partitions. I finally 
got to try it today and after wasting a lot of time messing with an 
unknown device I had no success, the darn thing would not boot! More 
googling resulted in the note that "Pidora has not been ported to the 
RPi2!" Aargh!

I cleared the SD card and installed the raspbian-wheezy.img. That booted 
immediately. So far all I have done was check it out via ssh from this 
computer. Not what I wanted but perhaps Pidora will get fixed eventually?

It's not a total loss, I now know the thing works and have some 
understanding of how to deal with it. I need to order an *DVI* to *HDMI* 
adapter and a 5-volt, 2 amp power supply before I do any more with it.

Thanks to all,

Bob
