50g

One reason that some writers are discussing 2 GB SD cards may be  that 1 GB 
and smaller cards are getting a little hard to find on  store shelves in 
some parts of the world, while 2 GB  cards remain readily available.  I have 
not tried a 2 GB card  in my 50G, but firmware of some of my other devices 
limits  them to 1 GB.  When I try to use 2 GB cards, they either  don't 
function or become very slow and prone to crashes.
 
Regards,
Mike

I have the 50G with an HP 256Mb SD card, as has been mentioned in this  
forum user's of the 50G are attempting to use SD Cards which are far too  large 
for even the 50G. HP recommends SD Cards no larger than 1Gb for the  50G as 
any larger will lead to a premature burn out of the  50G. 
Well, I'm something of a programming packrat. I keep everything I do, and  
everything that others do on the Net, meticulously sorted, so I have  A  LOT 
of  programs, and a little bit of a ton of everything else. I also  kept my 
48GX Libraries that I used for years in the Aerospace Industry (I  used a 
48GX for the first time the week they came out, and never looked  back. I 
remember it mostly for the financial sting; it cost me an entire pay  check at 
one go! I considered trying to get a loan to buy one!)
So I carry an unbelievable amount of stuff. I even have Saturn based  stuff 
by the boatload, just in case I run into another 48GX someday. 
It seems to me I do remember what you mentioned about the cards.  If  1 GB 
is all the machine will handle, why is everyone pushing  2 GB cards? (Other 
than the most obvious reasons, that  is.) and here's  the kicker..
I still keep my slide rule on my desk :) Just in case..Old habits die  hard.
