More On >2gb Sd Cards
« on: March 26, 2007, 09:07:53 am »
i had been having issues with reading my large format sd card with cacko rom. after failing to solve the problem, i not-so-happily reverted to a 1Gb card (san disk).

as my needs for my 3100 changed (i wanted to move in the micropc direction -- but using a flavor of linux), i switched to pdaxrom (specifically, meanie's pdaxii3 -- latest build).

the switch went smoothly. and, on a lark, i inserted my 4Gb connect3D sd card (from tigerdirect) and it was instantly recognized.    i used it for a few hours;  then, the z went to sleep.  upon awakening, the card was no longer recognized.   i rebooted with and without the card inserted several times; and the card has never been recognized by the system again.

very odd behavior.  so.. while the obvious fix is to find another brand of 4gb card... i wonder if there is anywhere to look for a log and/or process where i can identify exactly where/how the sd card recognition software is failing

any thoughts gratefully accepted.
cheers.

I believe I had some inconsistent results a couple times with pdaxrom, but it's been pretty stable with beta 3 and pdaxii13.  

There is a compatibility list on Antikx's [a href=\"http://www.tyrannozaurus.com/?q=wiki/SDCompatList]Tyrannozaurus[/url] site.

thanks,
i just reformatted the connect3D 4gb card for my digital camera (where it works...) and swapped my 2gb sandisk card to my 3100 (which also works...)

now; if i can just get korganizer to run...
so it goes.
