I found my experience improved vastly when I switched from the 2 MB my
MP 130 came with to 4 MB. And the jump to a 28 MB card felt like a quantum

WordSquare (luv the littly thing!), etc.
drivers costs a bit, but is worth every cent (I heard people say). In any
case you can use ATA Support with any card even w/o registration - then
it'll make 4 MB accessible for free; after registration, you'll be able to
use the whole card (and they are HUGE ;=} ).
