Recommended SD and CF cards
8 Jul 2007
Note: This information is provided as a reference and does not imply that Juniper Systems will provide full support for the use of any specific third-party hardware with a Juniper Systems product.
Below are lists of SD (SDIO, SDHC) and CF cards (devices and adapters) which have been tested in the Archer Field PC running the Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0 operating system (our release 1.03 and higher (2.1.5 being the latest)). Most of these cards which are still generally available for purchase from us or each manufacturer have also been tested in all our releases of the Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.1 operating system as well.
If you have some other SDIO or CF card device adapter that you would like to use in the Archer Field PC, it must not exceed the physical limitations as specified in the "Maximum SD and CF card height (length)" knowledge base article.

*Notes: Specific drivers may be needed with some card models. All tested flash memory SD cards have so far been found to work. SDHC cards with 4GB or higher capacity work with Windows Mobile 6.1 and higher, though there have been reports of issues performing OS updates or language installs using 32GB cards. Third party patches may be available for SDHC card compatibility in Windows Mobile 5.0, but no support may be provided if issues are encountered with a third party patch.
