Bye Bye

Thank you everyone. The project is now over with SDHC driver available for most devices, and T3-BigCard available on the T|T3. This blog is now closed and will no longer be updated.

T|T3 and 2 and 4 GB SD [not SDHC] cards

Feeling a bit guilty over killing the SDHC project for the T|T3 (and seeing a few requests in the comments to the previous post) I decided to help in a smaller way. But fixing Palm's errors in the existing driver, thus allowing it to read/write 2 and 4 GB SD [not sdhc] cards. Owners know that the default driver can read 2 and 4GB cards, but cannot write cards over 1GB.

This fixed it.

The download you need is T3-bigCard from PalmPowerups.com download area.

PowerSDHC on T|T3, iQue, Zodiac

PowerSDHC on T|T3, iQue, Zodiac has been canceled due to lack of time to spend on the project (T|T3) and needlessly complicated driver installation requirements (Zodiac, iQue).

T3 progress

more progress made with the T|T3 controller (may whoever designed it burn in hell forever). Now I have it reliably talking to me until I ask the card for it's unique ID. This is major progress!

To help you choose an SDHC card for your new driver here are some links to good prices.

NOTE: These are the upfront prices. I never had any luck with rebates, so I always pass those deals by.

SDHC cards are rated on speed by "class". There are 4 classes: 0, 2, 4, 6. Class 0 has no guarantees on speed. Class 2 guarantees 2MB/s write speed, class 4 guarantees 4MB/s write speed and class 6 guarantees 8 MB/s write speed. Almost nobody makes class 0 and class 2 cards (which makes sense since nobody would want them), but here are some deals on class 4 and 6 cards. Also are listed some card X cards. These are theoretically class 6, but have been observed to perform better than 6 MB/s. NOTE: There is no official class X classification. This is what I label cards that perform better than class 6.
