SD and CF Memory...

[cybernut]

Hi

I can't seem to find the answer to this. Are SD and CF memories treated the same way in the Axim? And if so, do they look like the 32k/64k program memory or more like a disk drive and is there any way to manage them i.e. can you install specific programs to that area?

Thanks

They appear and are treated as folders just like the Built-in Storage. I understand that applications can be installed on them though I haven't tried that just yet. Just today though, I hacked the registry and moved the Avantgo folder to my SD Card. Its slower than running out of the standard memory but so far I can deal with it.

CF Cards are faster than SD cards I'm told but I went with the a 256mb SD card so that I could keep the CF slot available for a wireless card. Dell's SD port is only good for memory. It's not SDIO so you can't use it for anything else.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Forge...

Just another question. If I move a file to the SD memory that's already installed, is there the equivalent of 'make shortcut' in windows or is it necessary to do a regedit (that's a little worrying if that's the case :( )

TIA
