SDHC goodness

I had a nice surprise today, It seems that my Ricoh R5C822 SD card reader supports SDHC (class 4) as well! Anyone else?

Re: SDHC goodness

I guess I have the same card reader you do but why is it such good news that it supports SDHC (class 4) ?

Errr OK, seems like my 3 years old laptop is still here for the kicks then
On another matter, you don't happen to know if and how I could make it play along with memory sticks do you?

SDHC cards can get huge (theoretically, now they're already up to 32 GB afaik), SD cards can't.

Re: SDHC goodness

OH!!! Now thats more like it
But .... not many people would be able to read it and .... I can't boot from my SD (I think) so .... 32GB USB Flash drive for me then
If 2GB can host a recovery intended install of arch (maybe with more stuff than just the essential to do recovery) imagine what 32GB could do

Re: SDHC goodness

I could have explained myself a little better.
I mainly use my 16GB SDHC card in our digital camera. I was glad to see the reader worked w/ it because my wife and I are some picture taken' fools!
