Sansa c250 v1 (Black European with FM); memory limit and restore to Sandisk

[memode390]

Two simple questions, which I can't find definitive answers to on the site :-

1) If I load Rockbox onto my c250 will I definitely be able to expand memory to at least 8 Gb with a Sandisk microsdhc card?

2) If I load Rockbox will I be able to uninstall it and retunr to standard Sansdisk software?

Thanks

1) Yes. Rockbox supports microSDHC cards, which the OF can't do.

2) Yes. The manual has the instructions for that.

Addition (1)
- there is a report of the HC support not working properly on the c200s (here in the forums). Unfortunatey the poster had to give the c200 back and there was no possibility to investigate further. These cards definitely work on the e200 which uses almost the same code and I'm quite sure that once a developer also has a c200 with a microSDHC and/or someone else is willing to help out testing then the possible issue will be sorted out quickly - maybe there even is none...

Addition (2)
- you can also dual boot, see manual.

Hi,

I'm a newbie here and just got my Sansa C250 (European), with 2Gb built-in memory.
I was very disappointed because of the lack of FM Radio in the firmware and I have found and Installed Rockbox on it.

Thanks for all developers!

Still I didn't have much time to use it because of Christmas, but it seems to work fine until now, however I need more time to get familiar with the many features.

I definitely would like to help to test it with high capacity (4 or 8GB) micro SDHC card, so please, instruct me how can I help.

I have bought a 8Gb micro SDHC card and I can proof that it works properly with the C250 using Rockbox version 15969-071223.
