Hi all,<br><br>is there a wiki page with a list of these SD compatible cards?<br><br> <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Feb 6, 2008 4:26 PM, Doug Jones <<a href="mailto:djsdl@frombob.to">djsdl@frombob.to</a>> wrote:<br>

camera card adapter that was compatible with SDHC -- the dozens of<br>adapters available at Frys did not include a single model that could do<br>SDHC, but the two models I found at Target both worked!! :-)<br><br><br>
After partitioning, I inserted the card into the XO. Both partitions<br>mounted automatically, and I can copy files back and forth between them<br>from the command line.<br><br>The Journal cannot see the ext3 partition. But it does see the FAT32 one.<br>
<br>(This does not make sense to me... Why would they make a Linux-based<br>file manager that cannot see an ext3 partition???)<br><br><br>I have made no attempt to put a bootable OS on the card.<br><div><div></div><div class="Wj3C7c">
