Just wondering could I use a 8 or 16 GB Micro SD card for the PSR-800?
My PSr 800 boots slower with a sandisc 4 gig compared to a sandisc 2 gig card.
Larger the card, the longer the scanner will take to boot.
Remember, there are different speed cards. A class 10 card may boot faster than a cheap class 2 card of the same size. (Manufacturer means nothing - every manufacturer puts out a few different class cards.)My PSr 800 boots slower with a sandisc 4 gig compared to a sandisc 2 gig card.

While the class may in fact be part of the problem another part is likely the fact the card should be named "EZSCAN" and FAT32 formatted with a cluster size ofGood point. The 16gb I use is a Class 10 and is still much slower than the original 2gb which I believe is a slower class. When writing data to the cards, the 16gb is a lot faster. I think the scanner checks the data and scans the card's free space upon boot.Remember, there are different speed cards. A class 10 card may boot faster than a cheap class 2 card of the same size.

fwiw - I just renamed (using Vista -NO format) a 16G Sandisk microSDHC (used in an adapter), copied the contents of the old card and it boots in well under 10 seconds.SD Card contents
The SD Card that the EZ Scan-SD uses can be inserted into any
SD Card slot on a computer or external SD Card adapter, where
you can use the EZ Scan-SD PC Application to modify the
configuration, update the Library, optimize the card for best
performance, or reformat the card. The SD Card comes
formatted for the standard FAT file system with a cluster size of
32kB. (Note that this is not the same as the “FAT32” file system.)
The EZ Scan-SD will work best if the supplied 2GB SD Card is
formatted for the standard FAT file system with a cluster size of
32kB, with a volume name of “EZSCAN”. Formatting the SD
Card for other file system types may cause the EZ Scan-SD to
malfunction.
When using other SD Cards the following formatting guidelines
should be used:
• Any card with 2GB or less capacity should be formatted using
the FAT file system with a cluster size of 32kB.
• Any SD Card with greater than 2GB of capacity should be
formatted using the FAT32 file system with a cluster size of
32kB.
For reference, here is the directory structure for the EZ Scan-
SDʼs SD Card. You may wish to make a copy of the CDAT folder
on your computer as a backup. Modifying these directories or
their contents is not recommended, and may cause the EZ Scan-
SD to malfunction. <snip>

EDIT: I am not able to determine what the class is on this card but I can assure you from the cost $14 it likely isn't more than Class 4.
