Ed Von Essen here. Richard, the HP 49G+ with the original operating system got messed up when I tried a 1 Gig SD card. Had to reset it. It was happy with a 64 Meg card. And the 49G+ came up with a "disk full" error (file name table full) and there were still 55 Meg left on the SD card. I was storing data on the SD card only. The 50G will handle a larger SD card but will it handle more file names? I remember someone saying that file names were read in when one selected FILES. Well the answer to this problem is to write a file gathering program, in other words, stuff more data in a file. Of course, that means it's necessary to write a program to be able to retrieve the data you want, also. I was plotting investment data to see trends and the disk full error occurred after two years.
So figure out what you want to store and get the smallest SD (lowest cost) card for the job. And buy several as you go along. Using SD cards for specific purposes is recommended.
See, ask a simple question and see what happens?
I just purchased an HP 48Gii. Looks like a 49G but doesn't have a slot for an SD card.
Enjoy your 50G. It's a great machine and will keep you busy for hours. MC&HNY. Ed

Is a 2Gb card okay?
