TheSDashcardisnotpartofthePCD2.R6000andhastobeor-
dered separately.
TheSDcardmustbeofgoodquality(industry-standard,astestedby
SBC).Otherashcardscanalsobeused,buttheywillnotbesup-
ported and are excluded from any warranty.
Toincreaseservicelife,theashcardsshouldnotbemorethan80%lledforpure
readapplications.Forread/writeapplications,nomorethan50%ofthememory
space should be used.
OnthePCD2,anon-standardlesystem(SBCFS)isused.Thismeansthatthe
ashcardshavetobeformattedbeforebeingusedforthersttime.Thishappens
automaticallywhenanewFAT16ashcardisinsertedintothePCD2.R6000.
Flash card handling
Thecardisinsertedintoaso-calledpush-pushsocket(pushtoinsertandremove).It
can be removed without switching off the PCD2.
