I am a little confused by much of this discussion. I know that I am probably not the only one. So for those of us who are not yet power users I would like someone to address the following questions:
1. When you talk about USB card readers I think that you may be talking about readers that will read various flash card formats into your computer. That is, the flash cards may have started out in the PCMCIA slot of the plextalk but there is actually no way to interface one of these multi-format readers directly with the plextalk. Is this true or am I missing something? 2. It seems that the most common flash configuration for the plextalk is a compact flash card in a carrier designed to fit into its PCMCIA slot. Is this true? Why? Is it the densest and cheapest format of flash? What other formats of flash cards work in the plextalk if any? 3. Is 2 Mb the largest amount of flash RAM that can be addressed by the plextalk? What is the largest amount of flash that I can currently install and address without going to the hard drive alternative? 4. I do sound for several live concerts a month. I record directly from my Soundcraft board into the line in on the plextalk. Even though I am essentually making master recordings at some point in the process of copying tracks back and forth between CD and the flash card the plextalk turns on somekind of a copy protection and will not let me perform the desired action. I have not yet figured out when this does and does not occur. Sometimes I record directly to CD, sometimes I record to flash RAM. I alternate between PCM 44.1, MP3 128 and MP3 64. Is there a simple rule of thumb that I can follow to avoid this limitation?
