Thanks Alan - that's a good start. I'm actually thinking of using a
card which is a few hundred megabytes, and I was imagining that I'd
partition it into multiple 32MB chunks. Has anyone got any experience
of working with cards of this size, is 32MB a bit big for a single
partition, and is this all pushing the envelope just that bit too
much?
How about the speed differences between flash memory and ATA-based
memory that you mention? Can anybody quantify this at all?
