Title: 2 Or 4gb Sd - Somebody Tried Them?
Post by: gsgmx on November 11, 2005, 03:20:49 pm

Hi,

my 512MB SD died a few days ago and i wonder what replacement would be optimal.

1GB are affordable but
2GBs are also getting cheaper nowdays.  Problem is - i have been told they don't work (reliable?) in the Z. 1GBs are fine.

Has somebody some experience?


regards
George

Yes, I know that a Patriot Memory 2GB SD card won't work in my SL6000.  I haven't tried a 1GB, but I think they work.  

My built in SD reader on my WinXP machine wouldn't read the 2GB card either (as soon as I wrote a 4-byte file on it, it showed as half full.)

I have not heard of anybody using SD cards over 1 GB. 1 GB is good, but nothing larger works (at all), as far as I know...

My 1Gb Dane-Elec SD Card works perfectly in my SL-C750, formatted as ext2. Don't know about the 2Gb version to be honest

The stock ROMs will not handle any SD above 1GB. However, you might get 2GB working with a patched 2.6 kernel either with OpenZaurus or OpenBSD

Is there any possibility to backport SD driver from 2.6 kernel to 2.4.20 sharp or tetsu or cacko?

Since when OpenBSD started to support MMC/SD cards?

I've bought a 1 Go SD Card and it works fine in my 5500. Waiting for my C3100 ( in few days ). Are all the > 1Go SD cards SDIO? If yes, it won't work

There is no SDIO support on the C3100. And the SD memory cards are not SDIO as far as I know.
