and dont buy a netgear ma111 V2 usb key like me !!!
it s not the same chipset as for the ma111 V1

ma111 V2 use sis 162 chip, and it s not working on gp !!!

I have a 256mb xd card and I'm going to buy an xd->smc adapter.
So I can test if it works to use >128mb, do you think beacause the card is larger than 256mb it will not write correct or even make bad blocks or something?

I think you can't use the card without a modified bios that recognize that memory size.

I m not sure that gp32linux relies on the bios for SMC access...
aapje89, just try it and tell us what happens...

 

[aapje89]

I will

Won't work unless you use a some type of USB flash reader, and then you're better off using XD to start with

Do usb 56k modems work? I'd bet that the winmodem ones don't work because they are done in software rather than hardware and eat up CPU.
