Yep thats neat , especially if you are pushed for space.

The SDFS software in picbasic doesn't require any other hardware though, apart from a socket for the card In my case I recovered one from a broken SD card reader (New ones cost less than £1 !), so it cost me nothing to get basic SD functionality

And the support from MeLabs can not be beat. A month or so ago I found a problem with APPEND. I am not good enough with FAT16 to fix it myself, so I told Jeff about it and now it is fixed. That is why it is now SDFS3. Where else can you get support like that?

I have tested SDFS more ways than I can count, even wore a SD card out reading and writing over and over.

SDFS just plain works.

Out of curiosity how many read/writes do you think you got out of that card. I'm always curious as to how accurate data sheets are for things like that, which I can't actually measure practically.

Could anyone using the SFS3 please enlighten me on the amount of flash/ram it consumes? I cannot check it since I do not have PBPL yet.

thanks
