ok, I have a couple of easy questions:

1. How many megabites go into a 2gb?

2. How many KB go into 2gb?

3. How do youi check how much space you have left on your microsd card??

Thank You

It all goes by 1000. 1000 bytes in a kilobyte, 1000 kilobytes in a megabyte, 1000 megabytes in a gigabyte and so on. So...

1. 2,000

2. 2,000,000

3. Go to my computer, right-click on the drive, and click Properties, and you'll have a pie chart of used and unused space.

Just something to add.

A gigabit is not the same as a gigabyte. Its a bit of a scam when they put '4Gb!' on the cover of something, as it lulls someone into thinking its gigabyes.

8 bits = 1 byte.

You can fit 64 programs of 32Mb each on a 2Gigabyte memory card.

You could not, however, put them all in the same folder as the SuperCards need to have the memory card formatted to the old FAT standard (not the default FAT32 standard Windows wants you to use  - you need to deliberately select FAT when you format a memory card for SuperCard use.)

When Bill Gates stole the FAT format idea from Open Source Unix he butchered it so much that FAT handles large numbers of files so badly that it becomes impossible for the SuperCards to read them all correctly.  So, don't put more than about 40 files in any one folder on your memory card if you want to use it in a SuperCard - use folders and name them to suit.
