Choice of SD Memory Card
The Digidown will work successfully with most types of SD memory card provided
that they are formatted FAT16 (which Windows calls ‘FAT’). A few SD card types
are unfortunately not suitable as they do not conform fully to the SD card
specification. Cards supplied by Lisle Design are to be preferred as they have
been selected for optimum performance in this application.
2Gbyte memory cards are supplied as standard by Lisle Design (although lower
memory capacities are entirely adequate for this application). Larger capacity
memory cards are not suitable for use with the Digidown Plus.
