hi

i just bough a 2GB MMC and put a folder filled with books on it.
then plugged it into my iLiad but when i go to MMC i cant see anything there.
i tried to format it to FAT and then used the software came with iLiad and put a text file on OutBox> MMC Folder and then transfer.
i still can see anything in iLiad.

i used to use normal USB Memory and it was working fine.

Please advice

I believe the Iliad only supports up to 1GB MMC. The standard doesn't go any higher. The 2GB card you have is very likely an SD card.

i used 2GB and 4GB USB how come 2GB MMC doesnt work

Because a 2GB MMC is, in fact, an SD card, not an MMC card.
And MMC card slot has nothing to do with USB sticks.

i tried it with 512MB and it worked Thanks, now i have to exchange mine with 1GB one.

but do you think that it will be able to work with 2GB and more in the future.
as i know it is a Linux OS inside and Linux has no problems with Memory Size.

Thank you for you information

Its the hardware that is limited. Its really a different thing MMC and SD. So your unit will never be able to read SD cards, but those who are MMC compatible, and MMC can only do 1GB max.

You can buy CF cards with hardly a limit I know of. (8GB official, but heared 16 will also work).. However check first the compability lists...

32GB CF cards have been reported as working fine, too. Best to stick with CF.

now i'm using 1GB MMC
but i will move to use CF.. so i can have more files.
but will the big size effect the speed and performance of my iliad.

not performance but battery have some issues with a little higher speed of draining out

can mmc and cf be used at same time?

can mmc and cf be used at same time?

to amplify;
can i set all items in configuration to look at cf for books, docs ect., then when i want to access something on mmc (like diary that i don't normally want to show up to people browsing my mach.) switch one of them to mmc?

I know; why don't I just try it? I did and it doesn't work. In fact, I can't access mmc at all? I copied the cf contents to the mmc, that didn't work, then formatted it and that didn't either.

confused.

That's pretty weird... It works for me.
I keep News on my MMC, everything else in internal memory and use a CF to access some stuff here and there through the device manager...

Are you sure your MMC isn't faulty?
Does it work on its own?
Are you absoposisurely sure it's an MMC or a 1 GB SD card, not something larger?

What size card are you using? What type of filesystem did you format it as?

i've tried a 32mb sd card, a 128mb mmc card and and 8 mb mmc card. all formatted fat32. after format I copy the directories and files onto them that are on my cf card right after setting up, ie notes ect. also tried formatting and leaving blank.

when i access files thru emelfm2 or thru mrxvt what is mmc called?

Are you certan of that?? I've seen a number of 2GB MMC cards being sold, and they do not have the attributes of SD cards (such as a data lock).

Since the same company also sells 2GB SD and SD HC, why would they do that if at 2GB MMC and SD were the same thing??

That's a MMC plus card, not a MMC card.

The iLiad supports just MMC (and therefore up to 1GB).

Dirk :cool:

OK, but an MMC plus card is not the same as an SD card. True??

That's not my dispute... ;)

MMC, MMC plus and SD cards all have different specifications
and are different.

The iLiad supports MMC cards up to 1 GB.

MMC plus and SD up to 1GB may work, but are not officially supported.

Dirk :cool:

(Don't know, if there's such a beast as a MMC plus card below 2GB, though...)

This was the post that I was questioning .... and if I understand correctly, the poster was wrong, in that a 2GB MMC is a 2GB MMC Plus, but not an "SD card."

Given that a 2GB card may well not work for storage, but that wasn't what bothered me about the post.

Yes, I was trying to hint at that with facts,
without saying so directly... ;)

Dirk :cool:

Whatever you call such a card, it won't work in the iLiad :). That's the most important point.

Hey, hey, hey .... don't try to get me off track when I'm beating the dead horse. :deadhorse: I have a burning desire to know that I am right and he is wrrrrrrong!!

:thanks:

Actually, MMCplus is a completely different standard and is similar to MMC only in very general appearance. Since it has double the number of pins, in two rows, it would be quite hard to mistake it for an MMC.

Also, MMCplus comes in 1GB capacity too, isn't backwards compatible and is still pretty rare.
So, while it's completely possible the 2GB card from the original post is an MMCplus card, it isn't very probable.

PS: Just as a side note, there are 2GB MMC's (not SD's nor MMCplus') too, but they are relatively rare and require MMC 3.0+ compliant readers.

when i access files thru emelfm2 or thru mrxvt what is mmc called?

Should be /media/card, i think...
