i had an issue with my card, the sp-505 was not displaying the card option under the system menu.
this gave me 2 questions
- is the card option only displayed when a card is detected? answer. yes.
- is it a formatting issue and can i format it on PC? answer. no and i dont know.
i managed to dig up an old PC card reader and succesfully read the card.
before i tried PC formatting, i weirdly discovered that i had inserted the card upside down .. turning it up the correct way answered my 1st question. (i must admit to assuming that because the card was inserted fully it was the correct way up).
i formatted the card in the SP-505, and it's Fat12 (reported by lubuntu).
there is no simple right click to format to Fat12, formatting to Fat under win10 results in being unreadable by the SP-505.
at this point i can't be bothered working out how to format using PC. maybe later.
