8Gb upgrade

8Gb upgrade

I added an 8 Gb SDHC card to my treo 650 this week. Of course this required hacking the rom to replace the old fatfs with the new fat32fs files. I ran into a few issues the first time I tried, but because I had backup up my rom first was able to replace and try again. After a second try everything works mostly fine.

a couple of issues I expected and have noticed. speed issues when accessing this much space. A programs seek function or loading a program from card can be significantly slower. Not sure if this is fixable yet, or if it will just be a cost of the added space?

I have noticed the access time a glitches when accessing music in ptunes and files from the card has gotten better. Music streams very very well.

I love the added space. I have jammed it with music, maps, movies, samples for music making. pics and I still have over half the space left.

For the less than $60 I spent this was a GREAT upgrade.

More info to come as I work out the kinks.
