Hey guys, i just found a 8 (!) gb SD card for a decent price and i bought it.
Its called Memory Card Elite pro (lol...) I will let you know if it works  In this thread u can also post ur experiences with SD card so others don't buy incompatible cards. This is what i know so far: DaneElec 1 gb microsd + adapter - WORKS Kingston 2 gb microsd + adapter - WORKS Transcend 4 gb SLOW speed - DOESNT WORK Transcend 4 gb HIGH speed - WORKS |

I am not surprised SDHC card doesn't work with Cacko (if your sig is correct). try Angstrom, it should work, but that probably doesn't help you. A non-HC sd card of 4Gb should work on cacko with the new kernel memory driver module from the 3200. Or, use USB host and an external card reader. |

If it's 8GB then it can't be an SD card, it has to be SDHC or fake.
SD can only physically support 4GB, and even that needs a non-standard driver. Which is why sharprom/cacko/pdaxrom etc only supported up to 1GB until the hacked drivers were released recently. |

Yeap. 4gb is only supported in cacko via the tetsu kernel patch.

When you insert it into the reader, then into the PC, it does come up as SD card, even though it's really SDHC. To prove this I just did this with a SDHC card in my Vista laptop.
Don't be fooled. |

Hope this yields good news results! |
