sd and ms duo card query...
« on: February 21, 2011, 03:30:19 PM »
Hi, been a while..

I guess this is a general question..if not..apologies and move the thread...

This question is for all technical peeps or for enthusiasts like me  :)

For my own research and investigation...
would it be possible to read a MS duo memory card via a SD/SDHC slot card by wiring/soldering the external contact pins off a MS Duo to
a SD card adapter internally... is this technically possible?
got plenty of sd cards, from 32mb to 1gb to play with, just no MS duo cards at the moment...
Just need some savvy people to give an answer without the why..please.. ;)

Hardware wise i can solder pretty well..(soldered my own wii with argon chip, in early days) got pretty steady hands  ;D

thanks...

I think the software protocol is different, but if you wrote a driver and adapted the pins its possible at least some devices could work with it.

You probably aren't going to be able to do anything.  Just stick to SD cards.
