SDHC support in Wizard?

[singhravi437]

Hi,

Although this question has been put up many a times but I don't see a conclusion in any of the threads. Can someone give a finite answer to the SDHC support in Wizard? (Y/N)?

Did anyone try this:

I have asked this too a couple of times.

Its all the more relevant now 8 gig rebadged Toshibas are knocking about under twenty quid.

Right now I have an authentic 4 GB SDHC card from Transcend.

Till now I have tried all the patches/drivers available here for SDHC but couldn't make this to work. I even checked after formatting the the card in FAT16.

The Wizard hardware DOES NOT support SDHC cards. Period... Sorry :(

Is it a hardware issue or a driver issue?

How should I format a 2 GB card that does not have the "SDHC" logo for compatibility with the Wizard?

It's a hardware issue for the Wizards, unfortunately, otherwise some clever person on the forums - and there are a great many! - would probably have succeeded in hacking some driver or other to give our Wizards SDHC support.

As it is, we're stuck with 2GB, or there are some 'non-standard' i.e. non-SDHC 4GB cards that work in some Wizards, some of the time... there is a very good thread about this in the Accessories forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=297324, and there are some other, smaller threads there too...

As for formatting, I have a 2GB card formatted as FAT32, with 512 byte sector size and 4KB cluster size, and that works just fine! I can't be sure if these are the best settings - it might be possible to reduce cluster size to reduce slack space, but I have thousands of files on my card and a slack space of just under 6MB, so I think this is OK.

All the best, and hope this helps!
