Is that a big deal? Isn't the IDE bus on the empeg pretty slow anyway?


Same deal as with some modernish SSDs: not well tested on old PIO-only machines such as our empeg! SDXC have higher speed protocols that most machines from the past decade should grok, and reports suggest that at least some of those are not fully backward compatible with the old/slow SPI protocol more traditionally associated with SD-Cards. EDIT: The controller chip on the adapter pre-dates SDXC.

Hey, I was just reading the Amazon reviews! smile
But we'll find out in a couple of weeks in Cambridge. I have a modern SDXC card as well as some older cards to try out in the adapter.
