Post subject:  MicroSD Card max size related question.

Hello all,

I have 3 E640 that require a firmware upgrade (currently running fw: 29). My issue is I can not find a 2GB MicroSD anywhere or if I do find one it seems to be way too expensive.

My question is if I get a 4GB and partician it into 2GB and format it with FAT16, would it work with my units? Has anyone tried to do this before? :roll: Please advice. Thanks!

MT

That is truly excellent customer service which I hear again and again. Cheers to the team at PCB, inc. !!!

For what it's worth, if others are encountering an issue locating a compatible card, its not too difficult or expensive to purchase 2GB cards online. Newegg has some in stock for under $7. I've tried these and they work well:

Transcend 2GB MicroSD #TS2GUSD

FWIW, I have had reasonably good luck finding <2GB cards at drugstores and grocery stores.

I will def. keep my eyes open the next time I visit one of these stores. Considering that I have 3 x E640 & a Cyber Commander this will come handy for sure! Thanks!!

Will there be an update allowing larger capacity cards, if so any timeline you can share? Seems that is a much needed fix.

Cordially,
RicD

It is definitely something we are expecting to incorporate in a future update. However, I cannot say when that will be.
