I've been using SD cards for file storage (ebooks, Mapopolis maps, etc.), and I've NEVER used the CF card slot!
Most seem to reserve that slot for accessoraries like cameras, GPS receivers, and the like.
I started with a 128 MB Sandisk SD card (amazingly no problems with it!), then went to a PNY 256 MB card when I needed more than 128 MB of storage.
Now that I'm up to 180+MB on that card, I need more space! Rather than buy a 512 MB or 1 GB SD card, I'd like go cheap (
) and buy a 256 MB CF card and use it along with the 256 MB SD card.
Before I buy the CF card, is there a problem using both cards for storage at the same time? Do certain programs/files run better from one slot or the other? Can both be accessed by the device at the same time? Eg-programs like Calligrapher running from the SD card being used to edit a note stored on the CF card?
Any rules of thumb here?
Thanks for any and all advice!!
