SD card read/write

This example shows how to read and write data to and from an SD card file
The circuit:
* SD card attached to SPI bus as follows:
** MOSI - pin 11
** MISO - pin 12
** CLK - pin 13
** CS - pin 4

}

// On the Ethernet Shield, CS is pin 4. It's set as an output by default.

// (10 on most Arduino boards, 53 on the Mega) must be left as an output
// or the SD library functions will not work.
