i just ordered a 2gb kingston SD reported to work above, ill be giving it a run on pdaxrom and report back

And so, what's about?

[telemetric_au]

the 2gb sd kingston didnt work, not that ive had a try to make any partitions, as it also wont read in my current card reader (must be newer model/revision)

for reference the numbers printed are:

front:

94110-925.AOOLF 2045871

back:

24038S0709

bought of ebay new, had not more card readers that couldnt read it than could, but works in kodak digital camera.

Are you using the modified sd driver that allows the Z to read cards of 2 gig or better? I tried it with a cacko crow rom and OZ and it worked for both. It should work for the pdaXrom as well.

The below link. It also worked on the hybrid ROM (tested it today).

I want to dig this thread back up because I have a similar question, but mine is on the SL-5600. I have the last Sharp ROM update (1.32) on it.

I'd like to know the maximum capacity CF memory cards (not microdisks) I can plug in it, even at driver level. I'm thinking of buying a CF card to store data and would want the largest capacity.

Please help.

Thanks very much.

[telemetric_au]

largest ive tried is 1gb and had no trouble with that

Thanks for the response. 1 GB CF cards are difficult to find nowadays, I think. I would hope to know how well the SL-5600 handles 4, 8, 16 GB CF cards though.
