What is the largest size Secure Digital card that will work with the Supercard SD? 1gb, 2gb, or larger?

Supercard requires the FAT formatting system which tops out at 2 gigs per partition, so you can use up to 2 gig SD cards.  With that said, the actual hardware may support higher, but seeing as how cards greater than 2 gig are hard to find and are more than twice as expensive, just go with multiple cards.

From experience (not SC, on digital cameras) larger cards when filled up tends to be slower than smaller sized one, but then again you can't fill up the smaller ones as much...

Personally I would go for 2 1Gb cards now due to the price difference.
