When inserting the card, the machine must have recognized a card was inserted because it went into the SD card file list menu. But no files visible and when stepping back to the main menu, it said "No SD card". First I tried formatting card on a MacBook Air to the FAT32 using the disk utility app but it did not work. Then I made a successfull formatting of the card from CLI (command line / terminal) like this:
diskutil eraseDisk "MS-DOS FAT32" PRUSAC MBRFormat /dev/disk2
WARNING: Run "diskutil list" first and make sure your card is also mounted on disk2 or else you could erase your computer harddrive.
NOTE: It is the "MBRFormat" that did the trick and I was not able to find that as an option in the disk utility app.
I wasn't able to get worked any cards appart from the one from prusa.
Now it's working whith all cards .
