Ive been trying to play with flash wizard but the box doesnt like my cheap "Buffalo" 128mb pen drive. What make should I buy instead?

BGonaSTICK · 10-09-06, 05:45 PM

I use the Sandisk Cruzer Mini 128Mb sticks, but there is a big list here, although not exhaustive by any means.

Analoguesat · 10-09-06, 10:48 PM

Third time lucky. Its worked

I needed to format the pen drive before trying to load the image

From tomorrow I can start to play with Gemini

BGonaSTICK · 10-09-06, 10:58 PM

Ah, yes. Should have mentioned that I guess.

Not sure which format it uses, but probably ext2 or ext3.

Don't expect it to work in your Windows PC anymore without another format. Even that might not restore it.

Who cares though - it has a new home now

Off Topic I suppose but couldn't resist as I just came accross this offer 5 minutes ago, and this is I think A real high quality (fast ,robust) USB stick. I'm tempted myself but without more to add to the order I'm to mean to pay the shipping just for the USB stick.

Dont think you like live links here so I will add 3X@

Anyone know to where there's a list of compatible Compact Flash cards :?

Analoguesat · 29-01-07, 07:30 PM

Havent seen one and havent seen a suggested maximum size either Other DB owners - any ideas?

nanochickin · 29-01-07, 07:33 PM

Purchased a 128mb Sandisc one yesterday off fleabay for £4.50 all in

BGonaSTICK · 29-01-07, 10:33 PM

I use Sandisk Cruzer Mini 128Mb USB sticks, though I've never seen a list of approved CF cards either. I guess anything will work. TBH I'm a little bit out of date with the Dreambox as I've been running this place almost exclusively for the last year

I'm due for parole in 2008, when I'll be hunting down an Belgian beer, a Cuban cigar and an exotic shag PDQ
