How Compact Flash on iLiad accessed?
I have just bought and started using an iLiad, and I have installed an 8gb Compact Flash card. On the device manager 4gb is displayed, which is fine, but I have no idea how to store files on it. When I conned the iLiad to my Sony/Windows Vista system via USB I can navigate the directory structure on the iLiad, in addition to copying files to and from it...but I see nothing that relates to the Compact Flash memory?
Am I missing something? Jim JimSmith@CyberPoet.com |

Also, it should recognize space above 4gb. You may need to reformat the card as fat32. |

But it's only USB 1.1 - not the faster 2.0. |

I have a spare 512M CF that I got for free when I bought canon SLR camera.
Would it work well with the iLiad? I think I was reading somewhere it is drains battery a lot if you use any external card, but especially CF vs. SC? |

Should work fine. I have all my books on a CF card on my iLiad. Don't really see any significant reduction in battery life as a result. I'm using a "no name" 2GB CF card.

lol...
Circuit City had a 2 gig CF card for 150$. Right next to it, the same brand... faster transfer rate...etc a FOUR gig CF card for 45$. LOL. Someone needs to contact their marketing department. The 8 gig card was 90 bucks. *shrug*.
Makes no sense to me. Anyway, I got the 8GB CF card and I still don't have room for all my books, and they're in plain text format! haha. Yay internets. |
