Has anybody been successfull in partitioning and formatting above CF cards in the 1 GB or 2 GB Range (eg. Transcend 2GB 100x Industrial CF) - not on the 200LX itself - in the following way?
- One small partition (say max 128 MB) that you can boot your 200LX from with only the built in driver active
- One or more aditional larger partitions only accessible by eg. Acecard3 driver
Reason I'm asking: Given the fact that smaller CF cards (not needing Acecard3) are harder to get nowadays (and even then the price is comparable to the larger storage cards) and the FileManager start-up is faster from smaller cards (partitions), another issue comes to mind - putting Acecard3 onto the 200LX w/o being able to read the (too) large CF Card partition in the first place.
This problem becomes even more pressing for double-speed systems, where you have to install the DS driver first to read the screen properly.
(Yes, I know you still have serial connectivity, but newer computers stopped to offer RS-232 connectors and that doesn't help with DS systems either)
Best regards,
