4GB SD Card... not SDHC

ThatCanonGuy

Anyone know of any? Seems like there were some before SDHC came about, but this one is the only one I can find. It's a "gaming" card, however, it is a pretty good price for 4GB...

Oh wait a minute... that one's SDHC too! Does anyone know of any SDs?

I believe that many SD only devices had difficulty with the 4GB SD only cards. I think that's why many dealers dropped them quickly.

What device do you need to support?

Oooh, I was about to talk out of my butt say I didn't think they existed but indeed... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital#Compatibility_issues_with_4.C2.A0GB_and_larger_cards

I was looking to get one for my older Palm smartphone that doesn't support SDHCs. Just didn't think 2GB was enuf for all my photos, music, docs, etc. I think there are a few workarounds/hacks though, just have to track them down.
If the problem is just that the device doesn't know the card is over 2gb, but it can still write to it until all 4GB is full, then that's okay. I'll have to read about it.

Just did a little hack which involved copying the SD driver from a slightly ddifferent palm to mine... now my palm recognizes my SanDisk Extrm3 8GB card
It says the card is 3600 MB but it will write to all 8 gigs...:ivar
Off to best buy to get more 8GBs!

Interesting solution.
