My Jessops (UK Camera retailer) 512Mb card seems to be a Toshiba SD-M512B1 and seems absolutely bullet proof and I have been running on ext3 for quite a while.

If using Cacko or Sharp ROM then I would suggest downloading my newer versions of fdisk and e2fsprogs from this thread.

https://www.oesf.org/forums/inde...?showtopic=6520

I discovered early on that the older versions of fdisk just didn't handle the geometry of the larger storage cards properly and that the older versions of e2fsck would scratch a journal from an ext3 file system.

....sorry, just spotted this is in the OZ forum, you probably have later versions of fdisk etc. anyway.. I'll leave the Cacko/Sharp note in just in case someone is searching.

"lead data"
sd, 512.
(around 90$ few months ago.)

works find on FAT for few months now,
ext2 was OK, but  i didnt try to push the ext2 too much,
nor did i try ext3 (seemed too risky according to some web pages)
C860, pdaxrom rc8,
with Gnumeric as the perfect PIM :-)
