I read about the Transcend 4GB SD as being the highest capacity SD card save venturing into openzaurus/pdaxrom territory as it is the highest capacity SD card outside of SDHC.
Okay. I'm thinking I'll buy that. But what about CF? If I want a wireless card I'll get one--that seems easy to look up--but just for sake of more storage, what's the highest capacity supported CF card under Cacko 1.23? Btw, I'm on a 3200. Also, I read something about read-speed. What's that about? Should I be concerned about it? Is it basically like a hard-drive? Etc. etc. etc. I tried reading through the stuff on switching out the internal drive for a CF microdrive...but that gave this newb/novice quite a headache. Plus I couldn't seem to find anything definitively final. Though, again, I'm not particularly interested at switching out the internal (I flinch just at flashing) I just want to have more storage in the CF slot. Any thoughts? Thanks kindly --UMG |

Just works, CF uses same drivers as IDE for the most part, so the distros don't care how big the CF gets b/c the architecture doesn't change. w/ SD the spec allowed up to 2gb, 4 if you used fat32, but that wasn't in spec. SDHC uses different memory addressing to so it needs different drivers. I suspect that CF could go as large as 128GB before there might be a problem with addressing. |
