X31 DS Cards?

#1 Post by Dougal » Sun Feb 21, 2010 4:45 pm

Can anyone please tell me what kind/size of memory cards the side slot of the X31 uses?

The little tray looks like it takes SD cards, but the size is wrong.

Many thanks for any help.

The slot is a CompactFlash slot. It doesn't get the greatest of speeds from what I've heard though I've never tested it myself. There are of course adapters you can get for CompactFlash to SD (or you could put an adapter in the PCMCIA slot)

Enjoy.

Although, I'm not certain of the exact architecture of the X3x MBs, but I'm betting that the CF reader is on the same bus as the PC Card. So, if the read from the CF is slow, the read from the Cardbus PC Card slot will be the same.
