Title: Beta Sd Driver For 2gig+ Cards Tor Tosa
Post by: ceffyl on July 16, 2007, 10:45:55 am
Pelrun has posted a first-crack at a driver for mounting a >1gig SD card. The discussion is here: https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showt...t=75&p=164979&# (https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=17208&st=75&p=164979&#) The driver is for Sharp ROM and will work with 2-4 gig cards (not the newer format).

I'm going to try it out when I get home (and purchase a 2 gig card).

 Ceffyl,

your sig says you have a 5500. If you look in the 5500 forums you'll find some 'new' initrd files. They work. One is for the tkcrom, one is for the Sharp 3.1x roms. They both let you access sd cards larger than 1GB and let you have home on sd.  

Cheers

Ah, but the *second* line of my sig says that I have a 6000... I have both a 5500 and a 6000. I primarily use the 6000, and have the 5500 as a backup. I'm much more interested in getting the 6000 to recognize the larger SD card than I am the 5500. However, if there is a driver available for it as well, then I'll make sure I have it available. Thanks for the info.
