There were SO many of these made, does it really matter? I have a
drawer full of them for exactly this purpose.
I still
think that nothing beats SD. It **will** be the standard
in two or three years.
I'd really like to know that the things will be available in 10 years
in capacities that will still work what's designed today. Can one,
for example, still get 16MB CF cards? If all that the unit can handle is FAT32, what does
one do when the
only cards available use exFAT?
I've not looked at (or designed with) the newer cards very
closely; can these not simply be reformatted? Since when does the
"disk drive" (flash card in this case) define the high-level
filesystem layout? What's the story here?
