Very true, I know I would rather have say a bunch of 4 meg cards than a
really large one. Although I am going to try ATA as you can partition that
in small amounts. One question though, the two times you got that 20meg card
wiped, was it the only two times you reset with that card and it got wiped.
Or was it say 2 out of 10 resets the card was wiped? I was just wondering
if it was a for sure thing, or sometimes it did it and other times not (not
worth the risk for sure if you can avoid it for sure).
