Posted: Sun Mar 22, 2009 4:40 am Post subject: 8MB cards for GX60

I had the opportunity to pick up an 8MB card which is supposed to be 

compatible with my GX60.  It is originally designed (like the 4MB cards) to 

work in a Cisco router.



My Jeppesen skybound adapter won't recognize it.  Any suggestions?

I'll probably call Jeppesen Tech support in the AM.  I already know that the 

card works with my GX60 as I have put an older database on it, plugged it 

in, passed the diagnostics, and flown successfully.

How did you get an OLDER database on the card without using the Jeppesen Skybound adapter?



Yes the original 2 Meg cards will not hold the data required on the new updates but the 4 Meg cards for the Cisco Router will.  



I have used about a half-dozen different 4-Meg cards without problem. This is the first time that I have heard of anyone using an 8-Meg card.

I have an OmniDrive flash card reader that came with  software to create an 'image' of the card which can be written to another  card.  

  

 This allows me to carry a backup and the last cycles  databases with me in the event of something that I don't understand about these  kind of devices.......

  

 I remember reading (somewhere and I wish I could find it)  that the GX60 is advertised to support 2, 4, and 8 MB cards and I know it will  read the 8MB card with the 4MB image on it without any issues.  The  skybound adapter seems to be my limitation right now as it will not acknowledge  the presence of the 8MB card.

  

 Really not an issue as the current database uses just a  bit more than the space on the original 2MB card - we shouldn't need to upgrade  to an 8MB card for a good long while....

  

 Just trying to figure out if anyone's already done it  (maybe that's where I read it....here!......ya ya that's the  ticket).

There is an ini or .sys file that Sky bound checks for valid cards. I had to mess with it before to get around some errors. You might try adding the 8Mb to the appropriate entry. Should be in the Sky bound folder. Greg Young

I also purchased the 8mb card...  Turns out that these are HC which are not backward compatible with the original SD card readers/writers.

Greg,

  

 Any more info would be appreciated and worth the  wait.....

  

 I dug through my folders looking for .sys and .ini  files - did find a couple but none had what looked like a section that would  differentiate between 2, 4, and 8 MB cards.

  

 Thanks,

 Ralph

The file is Services.ini in the Skybound2 folder. The  entries are like:

 DUPS12 = 2MB,4MB

 represent a subscription type and the card sizes that are  valid. I let my subscription lapse while my plane was down and have not re-upped  as yet so I can't reconstruct how I deduced which entry to change. IIRC you can  see some details on the card using the Read IID menu selection. The subscription  type may be in the subscription dropdown. Worst case you can try adding ",8MB"  to all the ones that don't have it. You can edit it with Notepad. Just be sure  to back up the file first. But if they have updated the software dramatically  since I subscribed then the above may not apply.

  

 Regards,

Greg  Young
