media interface ?

Hey guys,

Which SD card do you use? Would a regular 4-8 gig SD card work? Also, I was thinking of buying a media interface USB cable but not sure whether to go thru MB or buy one on Amazon. Any suggestions? Thanks!

don't get the mercedes one because it has a 2 gb limitation. Just order a sandisk or something similar from amazon.

I got the 2gb one and regret it.

My (limited) experience suggests that the PCMCIA adapter is the key to compatability.I bought an official MB adapter and it only accepts small cards (4GB and smaller).I then bought another brand's adapter for SD cards and one for CF cards and they both accept higher capacity cards (16GB and 32GB)....can't recall the brands,however.

Of course this situation could differ with different model years and even different models.
