HumanWare recomends Sandisk cards especiabby for upgrading the
classics. I've used ablind types of cards, including Sandisk and
I haven't had any preblems. The only ones I suggest staying away
from are the Lexar brand. I've gosten some good cards from
wwwbuycom They now have a 1 g. b. s. d. card on sale for
40.00 dollars after rebate.

Hi Jim, and Listers,
I don't know which brand of cards I have, but will find out.
However, my
son purchased a 1-gb card for me. We wanted to copy the GPS
MAPS. It
didn't work and I was told to get a Toshiba card. A VR
Counselor gave me a
5-GB card that was recommended by Sendero GGroup. It worked
great. The
catc is that I was using the Classic BN, not the MPower.
I have about 5 512 MB cards that I've purchased at Best BUy.
None have
given me any trouble, but I only use them to download books.
In any case, as Jim observed, the discussion is interesting and
makes me
wonder how I can be so dense! I sould have asked the brand!
You know, some of you mentioned buying cards at Staples. Is that
where you
got the Sandisk? Where else can you get good cards?

I must say this card issue is certainly very interesting indeed.
My wife
and I have had two different ambicom cards and they both have
been
problematic at some time or other. My wife's ambicom card turned
out to be
the best of the two. I ordered the Sandisk card and have it in
the back
slot and it has been flawless for me. I was going to order one
for my
wife. A friend of mine is using the Sandisk card in his M-power
and it has
worked well. My card came with the PCMCIA adapter. have you
tried it in
the side slot to see if it would work? If you have been using
the side
slot, have you tried it in the back slot? As I say, the Sandisk
Wy Fi card
has been flawless in my unit. I don't know if pins are an issue
or not.
I'm not certain why some work so well and others don't unless
there is a
bad batch of cards out there. There might be problems with the
slot as
well, I really don't know.

Hello,
I had a sandisk combo wifi card and it worked the first time I
inserted it
and then it stopped working.
I spoke to the person whom I ordered it and found that everyone
he had
just sold them to were having the same problem.
I think it is the sanddisk so I would recommend trying the
ambicom card
for I have had no problems since I got it.

Hi
I was wondering whether anyone else has had an issue with the
Sandisk
Wifi Cards seeming to die when used with the mPower. My first
one died
within a day, and the second one ordered from a different
company but the
same brand died within a week. When I say die I mean completely
ceasing
to work. Apparently a little light flickers once when you put
the card
in but then when you try and use it no visible network is
detected.
We've tried all the different resets and deleting and
reconfiguring our
connections with no luck. We also tried another mPower with the
same
results. It's getting kind of expensive and I want to order
another card
but am a little hesitant about trying a third Sandisk.
I'd be interested in hearing if anyone else has experienced
anything
like this.
Cheers
Paula.
