Definitely. 1 or 2 or 4 GB SDSC max. > Cards over 4GB are SDHC cards, *not* SD cards, > and need a SDHC card reader. They wont work with SD readers. (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) http://www.amazon.co.uk/Integral-USB-Single-Slot-Reader/dp/B000VY80AM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1345302248&sr=8-1 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: http://www.amazon.co.uk/male-Female-Extension-Cable-0-5m/dp/B000NN7N5Y/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1345302404&sr=1-1 The card reader/floppy drive in the front of Myonix simply gathers dust. -- from Tim Hill who welcomes incoming email to tim at timil dot com. * Share in a better energy supplier: http://tjrh.eu/coopnrg * Share in cheaper ethical telecoms: http://tjrh.eu/phone * Have a genuine & spam-proof address for Usenet http://www.invalid.org.uk/ ...
