on the storage card, there are up/s downs in making it visible and useable.

#1, you can install more software to that 8 mb of storage.

However some applications then proceed to try and use it like they would see/use routing external storage.

What i've been doing for my own personal builds, is to build an external rom with the binaries for applicaitons on them, with shortcuts to those files in \\program files\appname. I put about 5 megs of applications "preloaded" to the ext_rom as part of my flash.

Then I dont make the rom "visible" but it quietly gives me extra elbow room.

Like most choices there are advantages/disadvantes to the way you slice this cat. This one has them as well!!
