Using An Sd To Flash My Zaurus?
« on: October 12, 2005, 10:29:27 am »
Hi all,

I'm a newcomer to the Zaurus world, and reading all the material on the Net about flashing my SL5500. Some people say that I can flash the ROM using a CF or a SD, but some other say that only a CF does the job.

Can I use a SD to flash my Zaurus? Or only a CF?

Thanks in advance!

Nope 5500s only flash from a FAT16 CF.  The Cx00s can use SD or CF again formatted FAT16 (VFAT)

The 5600 can flash from either SD or CF which is probably where the confusion arose.
