Conductor Beta Finishes

[mykroft]

I understand that and have researched my SD card purchases in the past etc - but what size card are we getting is what my question was?

Greetings,,,

Please do not substitute the card without being aware that it might not work.  All cards are not alike in specs.

They are compact flash cards with a high speed read.  Don't remember the specs

I'm guessing that this is how things will fall out:  the coop will include the approved CF part, and people will end up getting their own CF parts from another vendor.

as problems get reported, RJ and everyone else on the board will first ask:  why CF card were you using at the time?  and then they'll tell you to first reproduce the problem with the approved part -- before they can help you.

using the standard part (which RJ said will be purchased with coop prices and included in the coop) is just going to save you and all of the people who try to help you time.

Ya know, give me some credit - I am not stupid.

Do you not think the 1st thing I would try if I had problems was the orig card?

I want a backup, we have moist weather here in the winter and with the Etd/Conductor outside, the contacts are gonna corrode.......

I didn't call you anything.

I was just describing a future situation where a plethora of CF parts get added to the mix and a bunch of folks throw out the question: why does my conductor not work? ... and the first response will be: What CF are you using?

It won't be you, it will be the other guy with the problem.

Anyway, no offense meant.

Ok lets chill out!

 DLA is not that kind of forum!

Easy guys.

Where those of us in the know, know, many folks that don't will make the mistake of buying something because it is cheap - not realizing that it isn't fast enough, needs the wrong voltage, or is just incompatible for no apparent reason...

Specs will follow, but for now rest assured that all the memory you need is coming with the device. After you get it, you can start experimenting to see if other parts work. The last thing we want to deal with is someone whining because they bought some memory on someone's recommendation and it just won't work.

Patience is a virtue. Coops require much...
 This coop should run fast and those that got in should have everything soon enough.

If you buy a different card there is about an 85% chance it will not function correctly. We put the card in the coop to prevent the issues. 8gb is plenty for an Conductor. it stores hours of shows.

Once the coop is over and you have yours if you feel you need another just buy the same thing.

This is why I like this site and the people here.
Every one is looking out for others.
Being a non tech person I don't get things right away.
RJ and all you guys that help out always think on a beginners mind set.
Bringing people up to speed.
Using murphy's law. What could go wrong will likely go wrong.
With out that mind set and the help and patience from the people at this site
I would have been lost a long time ago.

So I say thanks to all you at this site.
keep up the good work.
