After Dmitry Grinberg wrote that he is developing an own FAT32 driver, I sent him a mail, and here is his reply with some details:
no joke. if i do get around to finishing it, you should be able to
access any size sd cards on all os5 devices. (except the new sdhc
format as then i’d need to rewrite the slot driver)
I’m looking forward to use 2 / 4 GB cards in my Tungsten C, and many Palm users think so, too. The LifeDrive, TX, Treo 700p and probably 680 are the only Palms with installed FAT32 driver. The original Palm FAT32 driver can be copied to the most PalmOS 5 devices, nevertheless it made many problems and neither Tungsten T3 nor Tungsten C supported bigger cards.

In the past, Dmitry turned out to be a very capable PalmOS-Coder (one of the best, if not THE best), but OTOH he seems to have a short attetion span and becomes lazy when a certain project starts to bore him (Dynaclock and Hotsync still is a no-go).
I’d really appreciate a working FAT32-driver but waiting ’till he “gets around to it” could mean anything from 3 days to “not in a lifetime” :-\
If I may ask, who is the best?
There are many really good coders/developers/programmers/software engineers (or whatever you want to call us) for the PalmOS. I’d say maybe 30-100 and more.
Many developers do get lazy, I can attest to that.
I am looking forward for 2/4GB support on my TC too!
1. “Lazy” is a harsh word. Bored to tears is probably a bit closer to the mark.
2. I thought there already was a driver people could use. … or was that the one lifted from the TX? (trying to remember)

guys just tell us when this dimitry finish the job
i`m (and i`m sure there r many others) looking forward for that driver… just bought 2GB SD and i cant use it.. damn it!
Hi,
I havent heard anything more from him for quite some time…
Of course, we will keep you posted as we get new stuff!
Best regards

Please, I need that driver as well…. thank you
Any progress on this? I would pay $$ to have a driver on my T3 that would allow 2gb, 4gb or bigger SD cards (read/write). Anyone know how to reliably get read/write on a T3 with big cards?
