1.6 The SDP3B FlashDisk Compared
to Previous FlashDisks
The SDP3B FlashDisk is compatible with
SanDisk’s previous FlashDisk products, the SDP,
SDP5, and the SDP5A product. The SDP3B
FlashDisk is not compatible with the SDP5L
which was designed specifically for the HP95LX.
Therefore, the SDP3B FlashDisk is not system
compatible with the HP95LX. For this document,
any of these products are defined as the SDP
Series products. Several improvements have been
added to the SDP3B FlashDisk that do not
appear in previous products. Differences between
the SDP3B FlashDisk and the previous
FlashDisks that could be noticed by previous
FlashDisk users are explained in the following
sections.
