Not really a chief engineer but since i'm not a good drummer i have to focus on other things  8) Maybe i'm not a good drummer because i'm doing too much DIY things instead of practising drums. Looks like a vicious circle ...

Anyway, don't forget that its not done by simply putting in a bigger SD card. The boot program which handles the USB data transfer is limited to 4GB. So if you use bigger cards data transfer via USB is not possible anymore. You have to do that by putting the card to the card reader of your PC. Thats why some people put in these extensions.

I read that the OS can read and write SD cards up to 32GB. So the only "problems" are the USB data transfer and the lost warranty.

Regards, Manfred

Is the limitation of the SD card an software or hardware issue
