Sony hacks vs CF Magic for CF Card

[zx7dave]

Had a few questions. With the NX73 which has both CF and MS slots, can you run both cards at once? Have programs and music on the MS and then some Kinoma or similiar movies on the CF card? Which is the better program? Is there a third alternative? Can you load programs on the CF card like you can the MS? Please give me some user feedback.

To all questions - yes you can - for more information check the compactflashforum, almost all your questions are answered in the first thread in that forum.

This may sound really dumb, BUT this thread is entitled Sony hacks vs CF Magic for CF Card. Dumb because CF Magic isn't putting out a driver for the NX80/73. Duh, did you mean Athena America? Where is the comparison? This is another wasted thread.

I just purchased the CF Magic driver for my NX73 which works very well. It came to me in a random e-mail from www.palmgear.com currently for sale for $16. Just loaded up my 1GB IBM MicroDrive with movies and music video's...I will mention though I have not been able to get the CLIE audio player to read MP3's off the CF card, but this could easily be operator error. Will let you know if I get it going.

That is the big thing about the CF Magic. It is supposed to work with MP3/audioplayer stuff. Anyway, if you do you might want to let them know, for a couple reasons. 1 The version you used isn't meant to be used with NX73/80 so they may not maintain it. 2 If it works great they will probably say thanks, we will then market it as such, and then they will maintain it. Here is the site, you probably already have it though. www.PDAscent.com/forums Have a good one.
