    Any one know if the 1029 card reader has the SD card reader limit "bug" of 1GB?
    I would really like to use a SD card to save on battery life for certain functions, like MP3's and I would hate to buy a 2GB card to learn this the hard way.

    i have a 1GB Corsair card and a 128MB Kingmax card and can't get either of them working.

    i'll try installing the drivers again.

    Well look at that, with a 1GB card, the computer knew it was there, but could not format it. I am afraid to try it with my older 256MB card from my PDA.

    Any one manage to get a specific brand/size to work? (or maybe better drivers?)

    I tried a Transcend X80 1GB SD card. (Newegg had a good price last week.)
