Cf Card And "w/wa"
« on: January 11, 2006, 10:37:09 am »
I just ordered a C3100 from StreamlineCPUs

I wanted to order some of the higher speed compact flash cards, but most of them had this printed on them: W/WA

What does this mean? I have been googling and searching up and down on Lexar'a site for a meaning to this acronym (W/WA) (With WA)?

I purchased slower cards because I didn't understand what this "WA" meant and thought it would be incompatable with my new Zaurus.

Why don't these manufacturer's explain what their acronyms mean?

Thank you for reading this,
Jon
BTW, I also searched this forum for W/WA, and found no results.

----
EDIT: I finally found out what "WA" means. I looked at a package at a local computer store and it says "Write Accelerated".

Does "Write Accelerated" interfere with the Zaurus CF interface in any way?
Thank you, Jon
