LOL false advertising
I just bought specifically a 1GB SD card for $9.99 from Walgreens
because my old PDA can't read anything over 1GB. Turns out the disk is 2GB! This, despite the big "1GB" on the disk label. Wasted $9.99. -Mike

The early "SD" spec. implementations had a 2GB max. limitation, I wasn't aware of any with a lower limit. Even some of the implementations with the 2GB limit, can handle some 4GB SD chips. So what was the Make&Model of the Walgreens SD card, as well? Luck; Ken

I've tried three different 2GB SD cards with no luck. My two 1GB cards (and several smaller ones) work fine though. The model of the SD card is SD-M02G. Returned it for a refund today. -Mike
