You know how they make usb extension cords? one male and one female end. do they make an extension cord for sd cards? one end would be like a dummy sd card attached to a cord that you'd insert into the sd slot and the other end would be a sd slot that you could insert an sd card into?

its for my zodiac. I want to get a wifi-card but they're outragiously HUGH. I use the zod in portrait pretty much 90-95% of the time. so I was wondering if there was a cord so I could attach the sd recieving end of the cord to the back of the zod so that the wifi card wouldn't be sticking in my hand.

I have an idea, let me search, I remember something about th sd extender not really a cord but none the less...

Jukov

i too thought of this.. and for the same reason. couldent you just cut some IDE cable and usethe dummby card dell gives you and then for the sd socket use a cheap card reader?

ABF might actually be on to something, that would be good for the end that plugs into the handheld. i did a google search where you can get a female part. the only thing i can see wrong is that the wire in the ide cable might not be big enough, or uniform enough to maintain a good connection.

reese

why use an IDE cable? Why not just use a USB cable or something? Figure out the right wire combo to make it work with your card reader.

Okay, there is an extender available, but it's not cheap:



It is not cheap: $149. One could cut the extender in two and splice a cable in the middle.

However, it may not work, as the voltages, noise, signal timing, etc would all be affected by the addtion of the cable.
