Title: Does SD speed matter for 5600?
Post by: rhzehr on April 20, 2004, 07:51:36 pm

I am looking to buy an SD card for my Zaurus and wanted to know if the speed mattered.  I saw one on ebay that is a SD Ultra II at x66 will it work with the 5600.  And, is it worth the extra price?

Thanks,

Rob

As far as I know the zaurus can not take avantange of the exatra speed.  So that card should work but at the slower speed.

The Zaurus only uses 1 data channel, you need to use all 4 channels to get the full speed of SD cards.
A little search goes a long way:
