Now I'm disappointed.

I'm not that witty early in the morning.

Doesn't get much better during the day either.

2GB Toshiba SD -- does not work.

Has iRex specified a maximum supported size for SD cards?

I just saw a 4GB SD card on Ebay and I am tempted to buy one.

2GB Sandisk Compact Flash Card works fine (Standard version, not ultra fast)

Well... Based on this survey I wouldn't bother with anything > 1 Gb for SD. Not sure for CF, though

Wanted to buy a 4gig aswell.
iRex said, they tested for 2gb nothing greater tested.
so i played it safe and got a 2gb sd card (didnt want to risk anything higher, because my camera supports only 2gb)
sofar my 2gb didnt work in the iliad. and i havent heard of a working 2gb card or bigger yet.

Nothing to wonder as far as i know 1+ GB SD cards use an other technic then smaller SD cards (at least i think i read somewhere)

jæd · 08-01-2006, 01:43 PM

Based on this I've ordered a 1Gb SD card from SanDisk... Hopefuly that'll work as my 2Gb SanDisk SD card (which works on my Treo) doesn't...

Looks like SD cards are NOT SUPPORTED, although some will work if they are compatible with MMC (however, its maximum size would be 1 Gig)

From iRex FAQ ( http://forum.irexnet.com/viewtopic.php?t=4 ) :

07. Hardware - IO Devices

Which IO Devices are supported?
The iLiad supports most CF, UBS and MMC-cards, however SD cards are not supported. In many cases SD cards can be used since they are compatible with MMC, however the maximum size of an MMC is 1GB. SD cards can be bigger but these can not be used in the iLiad since the addressing method is different than MMC in that case, the maximum size of compatible SB cards therefore is limited to 1GB.

08. Hardware - Internal Memory

Can the 128 MB internal memory be upgraded ?
This is not foreseen. We suggest to use MMC (up to 1GB) or CF (up to 4GB).

Hmm... See : http://forum.irexnet.com/viewtopic.php?t=6 Time to change my order...!

You can always use an SD->CF-Adaptor for about 20€

The following SD cards are working (software rev. 2.6.)

- Kingston 512 MB
- Sandisk 512 MB Ultra II
- Sandisk 1 GB Extreme III (fast, very nice)

Just bought a Kingston 1GB MMC (+PLUS), but it doesn't work, iLiad could not recognize it. Also found a strange problem. If I boot up iLiad with this card inserted, the battery and keyboard indicator could not activate as usual. It keeps going until a reset without this card in.

Transcend CF 4G (x120) is working fine with iLiad 2.6.1. When I inserted it, it wasn't recognized. it looked frozen.

After reading that Transcend fat32 isn't working from wiki.mobileread, I formatted CF to fat32 and it's working great now. Thanks.

I just tried a Sandisk Ultra II with snap in half USB feature and it doesn't just not work, it messes up operation of the iLiad itself (pen wouldn't work, battery gauge never works...)

This is on 2.7.
