Title: Panasonic SD
Post by: frenchja on July 22, 2004, 04:52:37 am: Hi Guys,

Before I go out at lunch time and buy a Panasonic SD 256 SD, is it the right one for the Z 5500? Looked around in the forums and seems highly rated.

Then I can get Cacko and TKC to move the /home to SD

Take Care,

Jamie

Post by: frenchja on July 22, 2004, 08:57:56 am: another question, sorry guys. I notice that there are different speed SD cards out there, so 2MB/s others 10MB/s. Can the SL5500 take advantage of the higher priced and speed SD cards?

Post by: Teletubbie on July 22, 2004, 10:50:13 am: I cant tell you anything about the toshiba cards. I have a Panasonic 10 MB/s. Speed matters on the zaurus, since the 5500 uses jus one bit instead of four. With a 10MB/s you reach then 2,5MB/s. I am using the alternative modul from the download section here (under 5500er patches). It is faster as the original driver, but I dont if that uses all bits ( I think the bit thing is maybe a hardware issue).
I bought my panasonic for 74 Euros in Germany, but you uk people blocked the Euro. Â£65 sounds expensive.
Have fun,
Sam

Take Care,

Jamie

Post by: Mahoro on July 22, 2004, 12:04:26 pm: No problem at all,
I bnought that at a great deal I guess.
I live @ HK, I am on semester break right now
And have a trip to China and got that fo $350 RMB. ($42US ) for 256mb high speed
those claim to be 10mb/s
So far......fine
But I am an ULTRA noob on Zaurus

Got Fdisk installed. Yet, I just can't make it to 2 paritions.... one ext2, another one fat
