I have a 256 K flash card in my Braille note that has been working
flawlessly for four years, so I don't think there is a time limit.

FIRMWARE 2.X?
I'm shocked. I thought, after reading the Library of Congress's
endorsement of flashcard technology, that their usefulness and
durability was virtually limitless. Can someone clue me in? Is there
an expected life expectancy for flashcards? Is there an expected number
of times one may be re-written before it fails? Do you know how many
times that is--roughly, of course?

That's a good point, but in my case, the flash card is less than
a month old, so I hardly think I've used the cycle count up. -Brian On
