Hi Guys,
Before I go out at lunch time and buy a Panasonic SD 256 SD, is it the right one for the Z 5500? Looked around in the forums and seems highly rated. Then I can get Cacko and TKC to move the /home to SD  Take Care, Jamie |

Mind you looking at UK prices £65, is there anything cheaper out there?

I have had absolutely no issues with a panasonic 128 on the 5500 or the 760.

Cheers BlueDevils, just need to find a cheap outlet for em. I am wondering if I need 256 just for my home directory?

another question, sorry guys. I notice that there are different speed SD cards out there, so 2MB/s others 10MB/s. Can the SL5500 take advantage of the higher priced and speed SD cards?

Hey Guys,
Just bought a 256 Toshiba SD card for £37. Check out http://www.flash-card-store.co.uk/acatalog/SD_Standard.html Take Care, Jamie |

I cant tell you anything about the toshiba cards. I have a Panasonic 10 MB/s. Speed matters on the zaurus, since the 5500 uses jus one bit instead of four. With a 10MB/s you reach then 2,5MB/s. I am using the alternative modul from the download section here (under 5500er patches). It is faster as the original driver, but I dont if that uses all bits ( I think the bit thing is maybe a hardware issue).
I bought my panasonic for 74 Euros in Germany, but you uk people blocked the Euro. £65 sounds expensive. Have fun, Sam |

Cheers Teletubbie, yeah didn't want to spent £65 on Panasonic SD. Went into a panasonic shop and they wanted nearly £90. Hopefully the Tosh SD will be fine, a lot of people reckon it is good on here.
Take Care, Jamie |

I believe only one of four hardware pins are connected on the 5500 which essentially means that SD transfers are no better than CF.
