So that was SDHC vs SD? Or was it even that? 2GB was the original SD |
| 20 |
limit IIRC correctly, so you weren't trying to use the wrong spec. Was it |
| 21 |
just a case of a faulty card, either through accident or design. |

However, those cards were more expensive than current huge cards, so the |
| 24 |
temptation to sell fakes would have been even greater. Many years ago I |
| 25 |
got burned like that with a large (for the time) capacity USB stick |
| 26 |
bought on Ebay. |
