Which CF card for PCMCIA transfers to A600?
« on: September 10, 2008, 08:39:23 PM »
Hi,

It's been a while since I used my 64MB Compact Flash card and PCMCIA adaptor to transfer files between my PC and A600. I have just tried to use it and it looks like the CF card is dead (not registering on PC or A600). So I guess I need a new one.

Just wondering if there are any limitations on which CF cards are actually usable on the A600??? Are there any size restrictions? Seen as the PCMCIA port is only 16bit, can I only use 64MB flash carts, or something (2^16) ?

Or I was thinking that an SD > PCMCIA adaptor would be better these days...if one exists (haven't checked yet). Is anyone using SD cards?

Any tips from experience before I purchase appretiated!!
