SDrive using Micro-SD + Adapter

[+Larry]

Since I need to get a couple of Micro-SD cards for my cell phone, I thought I should be able to use the (regular) Micro-SD card with the SD adapter in the SDrive?

 

Is anyone using this type setup?

Nope but I can try if you like. I have a couple of microSD cards and the SD adapters lying around. I'll give it a whirl later and let you know.

Great! Thanks.

yes I am using a kingston 2gig micro sd card in an adapter, has worked flawlessly for the last 2 months

Beat me to it I just tried with exactly the same kingston card and it works for me too.

Thanks, guys-

 

I also just found it listed under the "Tested and working flash cards." I had looked in the docs, but overlooked that section.

 

Thanks again!

I've done development and testing using patriot 1 Gig micro sd. I'll use them in another version soon.

I tried but failed. This wasn't due to the media (Kingston 2GB SD) but rather my feeble soldering skills.

 

For $7 on ebay I picked up a Kingston 2GB transflash card (aka microSD), a miniSD to microSD adapter, and an SD to microSD adapter.

 

I had planned to use the miniSD to microSD adapter as the socket for my homebrew SDrive but on the 5th of 7 solder joints I applied too much heat and warped the adapter into a useless mess.

 

My stripped down SDrive (I often use other names), i.e. no buttons, switches, or LEDs, made from new and scrap parts works but finding a place on the 600XL to mount it and the old floppy connector (my stolen idea for an SD card socket) is a challenge I haven't figured out.
