I knew I would get in to trouble when I bought all of this up, but I
couldn't control myself!
In short, if given the choice between two cards and one cost the same
or a bit more than the other but appears to be much faster, buy the fast
one. We don't have all of the popular cards and can't recommend one card
over another. I have some cards here that I would'nt give to my worst
enemy; they are that slow, even with the Book Port. Of course, they
don't have any speed claims on the packaging or the card itself, and
they are very old. I just want to dispel the myth that speed never
matters with the Book Port.

If I remember correctly, Larry said it makes no difference whether high
speed cards are used or not. The high performance cards wouldn't
improve
the performance of the BP, anyway. Now Rob says it is better to buy
the
high speed card. So? Which is it?

Jeremiah 29:11 - 14A
11For I know the plans I have for you," says the LORD. "They
are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a
hope.
12In those days when you pray, I will listen. 13If you look for me in
earnest,
you will find me when you seek me. 14I will be found by you," says the
LORD...
