Has anyone tried using a smaller micro SD card to speed up boot times?
does it really speed up booting?
That's great with most scanners but it means using external power which, at least with my WS1088, means it would be vulnerable to unexpected power loss which makes it lose all recordings made since it was last switched off properly.My scanner is on 24/7...I just turn the volume down when I go to bed.
If I switch off the wall wart the scanner almost always crashes and fails to flush something (the FAT and the folders I presume) to the SD card.Never had the problem, Plugged in using a wall wart and Nicads inside. The recordings are on the sd card inside and can usually be pulled off with a card reader.

EXACTLY.2 things that should be obvious....DON'T switch off the wall wart and have rechargeable batteries in the scanner for battery back up. The scanner will charge the batteries and keep them charged. A good set will last 5-8hrs. I did this for 2 yrs will my 668 that I recently sold.
I'm pretty sure it's reading the entire FAT so that it knows which allocation blocks are free. Since the allocation blocks are always 32KB the FAT's size is proportional to the size of the card.I put a 32gb card in mine and it booted SLOWLY. I put an 8gb card in and it was much faster.
After booting both cards worked perfectly...and both are class 10 sandisk cards. I don't know why the big card slows boot so much...but it really does.The initial count is glacial with it.
