Hi all,

I'm considering buying a big card (16GB) for my forthcoming iRex DR1000S. Since the difference in price is almost nil, I think it's more practical to use a microSDHC card in a microSD -> SD adapter, just in case you need to plug the card somewhere else.

I have like 10 of these microSDHC cards and adapters at home, and none of them are recognized in my current DR1000S no matter what. Of course, the cards and adapters are fully functional. Anyway, all of my cards are 4 or 8GB, and my current unit still has the old v1.7 firmware (and I won't update it for a while), but I'll surely try the latest versions of everything on the new one.

So, any experiences on the limits of the DR1000S card reader, micro+adapter vs SD card types, fw version dependency, etc?
Thanks in advance.
