>>Does this apply to compactflash as well, or are you talking specifically >>about the smartmedia flash cards?
This applies to every type of flash media available on the market, Sony memory sticks, compactflash cards, smartmedia cards, SD cards, MMC cards ,etc... If it doesnt have a battery in it and it says the word "flash" on it anywhere it will die within 10,000 writes or whatever the manufacturer of the flash memory in the card specified. (some newer flash chips can handle 100,000 write cycles per memory location) The only device that does not have this limitation is a IBM microdrive, but those die if you look at them funny.. (read that as they are very delicate) _______________________________________________ Rio-dev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.freeamp.org/mailman/listinfo/rio-dev
