>>To my understanding, it's not the size of the card, but which specific chipset it
uses. I have 4 cards now, all SimpleTech. The 16mb card that came with the
Repeater works fine, as does the first 128MB card I bought. The second 128MB card
works ok for mono and non-strenuous use (loop storage), but will occasionally
give a SLOW CFC if you try to do stereo or whatever. I just got a new 256MB last
week and haven't had a chance to fully exercise it yet, but initial tests look
positive (formats, records in stereo, reverse, etc).<<
agreed re the size issue, i.e. there isn't one. I was suggesting merely that buying smaller cards would be less painful than what I did which was to buy a 256 from a big manufacturer and end up using it in an ixus (100's of photos....) instead because the repeater didn't like it at all. but if you can find a dealer who'll let you bring y'r repeater along and try a few cards.... I doubt that there are any shops in london who've even seen a repeater. I mail-ordered mine and collected it from digital village in barnet- they had no idea what the thing was. the second one was bought off of this list (hooray!)
both my 128's must be the new sort. :-( and the 16 was just too small.
if only there was a way to install (more) ram in it and just use the cards for offline storage....
