Unfortunately only a handful of developers out there now know how to make arm modules, and even fewer are good at it, and fewer yet know how to make a slot driver. So don't hold your breath... __________________ Annoying me is NOT an approved way of encouraging me to produce software My software:PowerSDHC, PowerDrive, nuRom, UDMH, warpSpeed, PowerDiGi, brightnessFix, etc...

Hehe some bloke on TreoCentral caved in and got an 8Gb SDHC card to test. __________________ *Only slightly* mobile phone obsessed.** Apple iPhone 8GB/Sharp 903SH (Red, Euro), Sharp 904SH (Violet) Canuck PDA

Alot cheaper than getting an 8 gb iPod or it's equivalent. Lost mine enroute to Iraq and have been using my TX and 4bg card since (too cheap to buy another one).

Dmitry, do you think it can be done reliably?

I think the TX will support them. __________________ The Building of the biggest Software Site EVER! http://www.treoquestions.org/questions/downloads.php

Someone tried it on a TX on TreoCentral and says that it caused an endless reset loop...

Damn, I wished I could get an 8Gig at newegg prices here in Canada...but then again, Class 6 and above is what I'm gunning for!
