The card shipped is a 256-MB card. You will never actually get 256MB of
working space on the card, though, since part of that is taken up by the
formatting and other overhead.

I'm curious, why do you think it should add up to 512? I was under the impression that the BP currently ships with 256MB cards.

First, the status line when I have the transfer software open with the BP attached says:
238.5 MB free, 244.1 total
This does not add up to 512 MB, which I would assume is the actual card size. It is the card shipped with the unit. Are there hidden files or some other reason for the disparity?
Second, should I get the notice I am about to overwrite a file and be given the option to continue. If not, perhaps that could be something added at some time.
Continued thanks for all good information!
