DS Flash Equipment > Any non-SDHC 4GB mini or micro SD cards?

I'm finally going to be getting an M3 Perfect (I need the 32 MB of RAM and GBA support), and I was wondering if there are any 4 GB mini or micro SD cards that are not SDHC, since the M3 cannot read SDHC.

The SD standard only allows up to 2GB. Any 4GB SD (non-SDHC) cards you see are non-standard, and will not work in all devices. There's no way of knowing if it will work in your device or not unless someone else already tried with the exact same SD and the exact same device.

Just get two 2GB cards, and hide one in the battery compartment or something. (they are frickin' tiny...I almost accidentally inhaled one)

Then I'll probably buy 1 2GB micro SD for now, and then get a second one later if I really need it.
