Well, in view of what I wrote earlier about the two makes, that doesn't altogether surprise me then! We only have a Toshiba (or perhaps its a Kingston???)
Anyway, I'd opt for CF or SD myself and avoid those two micro drives. Perhaps you can use them for other things where you're not likely to screw up databases! -- Carol [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Peggy Kern Sent: Thursday, October 20, 2005 1:49 AM To: Braillenote List Subject: RE: [Braillenote] Reset loop; it's the micro drive Yep, it happens with both micro drives. I've never felt an SD card, but wonder if I'd lose it or have problems learning to insert and remove it because it's so small. I never saw an answer to the question someone posted about whether the SD cards drain the battery. I'm sure nothing drains the battery as fast as a micro drive.
