I have an older Asus a716 that has both a CF slot and an SD slot. What is the largest size memory card that will work in it? Is there a limit on WM2003 hardware/software that would limit it? I would like to put in a 16 gb CF card to hold a bunch of music for the car. Would this work? I assume a 16 gb SD card won't work since it would have to be High Capacity, which I don't think the SD slot is.
CF cards have memory management unit inside the card itself, so your device should recognize any of them.
I'm not sure about filesystem limitations, but I guess your device supports fat32.

Hi All,
Are there any cards on the market for the XDAII that have SD/MMC memory and wireless functionality in the same card ? I think I heard about it somewhere on here but I can't remember the name of the manufacturer, or if they are even available yet.
Any pointers appreciated,
Thanks,
Rob.
I have not seen any.
But why? i have a SD wifi card and it sticks out the top. i pop my 128mb sd card out when using wifi (like now)
not sure i'd want a storage card that stuck out the top
Here's a link for you

SanDisk are supposed to be working on one which will be released shortly. The problem is that PPC2003 does not currently support SDIO and memory access to the same slot.
Apparently SanDisk have been waiting on changes or a patch to PPC2003. Perhaps it has been included in the Second Edition release.
can you use a micro sd with the adaptor cards on a xda2i?
and if so would i need any softwear on there to install programs of the mem card
SD / miniSD / microSD all have the same basic interface so as long as you are using the adapter (which basically just extends the metal contacts on the card) the device will never know the difference.
One thing to remember is to make sure you do not by SDHC card since your device can not support this new format.
As for installation no special software is needed. If the card is inserted in the device you will be asked to install there or in main memory.
I have a SanDisk 2GB Ultra II CF Card (that I purchased from a Staples) that I use in my PDA. I have a built in card-reader in my PC, and I use it to transfer files >> CF Card >> PDA. I formatted it in FAT32. I tried to transfer about 700MB of music that I own on my PC to the memory card...well, it worked, but it took 20 minutes just to transfer 700MB...when I should be seeing at least 3MB/sec. transfer speed...also today I transferred 17MB of map files for GPS use...and it too 35 seconds for 17MB of data. I haven't used an external USB Memory Card Reader...
But in ya'lls opinion, is something whack with my memory card? Or could it be the internal reader/writer? ...it never gets stuck during a transfer or anything like that. Transfers just fine, except it is slow as can be.
Thanks in advance.

hi sd experts.
i am trying to use an sd to microsd adapter mainly to connect my digital camera (sd card) on the road to my samsung galaxy i9000 (microsd slot). the adapter is built into a slightly bigger case of a 3000mAh battery.
problem here: the phone doesnt notice a card change in the sd slot. remounting is somehow "hardwired" to physically inserting/removing something from microsd, which does obviously not happen in my case.
manually unmounting/remounting the card from settings menu also doesnt work when changing sd cards in the adapter. android probably keeps thinking that you re-inserted the same card when nothing is physically pulled from microsd-slot. so if you remove an sd and insert another and try to mount from settings menu, it will either fail or mess up the file system.
what can i do to make this work? any unix commands to call to properly trigger a remount, just as when something is physically removed and inserted from microsd slot?
thanks,
joe.
somebody suggested to switch the microsd driver from handling card changes via interrupt to polling mode. anybody tried that? on my galaxy i believe it's in /sys/bus/platform/drivers/s3c-sdhci/
then there's a s3c-sdhci.0, a .1 and a .2 directory. which one would be the external microsd slot? and would adding a file "polling" with the contents "1" work for switching? does the android sd driver support polling at all?
so many questions but no answers... i guess nobody ever tried something like this on their phones
Hi,
I can use my 16GB micro SD in the pad itself, but if I try to use a regular SD card it doesn't mount. Not even if I remove the micro SD. Is this a known issue, or is it just something with mine?
Cheers!
of what capacity is the regular sd card? I think (might be wrong) that the dock doesn't support certain capacities of cards. I have only ever used a microsd card in an adapter in the dock and that worked fine. Have you tried a reboot with the card in? can you see it in the file manager at all? I found that, when I can't mount a card, that switching file managers will work about 95% of the time.
I hope that helped a little bit
