Hi.The maximum card size supported by APH technical support and the only type garanteed to work correctly are 4GB cards and below. Previously, the limit was 2GB and the cards were formatted in FAT16.Please remember that the larger card size you use, the longer it will take to fill up and thus the less battery life you'll end up with. Copying 2GB of MP3 files used to take upwards of 10 minutes, so filling up an 8GB card would take 40 minutes under a similar set of conditions. This would seriously reduce the amount of battery power available to use if this were done on a regular basis.----- Original Message ----- From: "Sandy Licht" <slicht@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <bookport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>; <bookport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, April 14, 2007 5:55 PM Subject: [bookport] Re: Flash capacityPeople on list have reported that they are using 8gig and 12gig cards in the BP. You would have to format these cards as FAT32. I don't know all things technical, but you won't damage anything by trying it. No guarantees it will work, though.At 09:33 PM 4/13/2007, David Tanner wrote:> Now, don't say I am trying to put you guys in the corner, because this is > the first that I knew that there was even a chance that they might work. > And, feel free to not answer my question if you feel it might put you in > a hard place. > > Question: Is there any chance of causing damage to a 8 gigabyte card by > trying it in the Book Port or is it simply just a case of it works or it > doesn't work, but it won't hurt the card to give it a try? > > > ----- Original Message -----> From: "PAMELA RADER" <PRADER@xxxxxxx> > To: <bookport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Sent: Friday, April 13, 2007 7:56 AM > Subject: [bookport] Re: Flash capacity> > > : Actually, I don't know who started that, but both Rob and I have been> : telling people that 8 gig cards may or may not work, since their > : structuring is a little different.
