Well, they will work to some extent, although I make no warranties about it!

The card size and multiplier reported by the SD card's CSD (Card Specific
Data) will be just about the same as a 1GB card - but the sector size is
1024 bytes and not 512 bytes. The current Trinity B-DOS will "think" it is
talking to a 1GB card and will be reading and writing only 512 bytes per
sector, the other 512 bytes will be ignored, so only half the space will be
being used.
