Definitely. 1 or 2 or 4 GB SDSC max.

(Interesting to see that Wikipedia calls them all SD cards but the
originals are often referred to as SDSC to differentiate. SDHC redirects
to SD!)

I own several of these and never had a problem with RISC OS + Iyonix +
Fat32FS (They work also here with WindowsXP, Win7, Mac fluffy kitten, and
Android 4.0)

EXCEPT THAT such USB dongles will not fit in the recessed slots in the
front of Iyonices. (D'oh!). You will need something like this too:

The card reader/floppy drive in the front of Myonix simply gathers dust.
