Not a problem at all Shel. It's just that you started out with a blanket statement Microdrives don't work well, and I thought that was a misleading assertion. For many people they work just fine. It is good to know their altitude limitations, as you said. I don't work as well at 10,000 ft

Hi! I guess normal is: * faster ? * less power consumption while Microdrive is: * cheaper :D While I'm at it, does High Speed card really matter in a D/Ds? Or is it only useful when reading back in a card reader on the Computer? I've got 2 1GB Sandisk Ultra II cards... They work just fine.
