I have never used this format so I don't really know what I'm talking about... are there different varieties of 2 GB SD? What's the biggest size that would work ok with both the adapter and the N800?

I just ordered an adapter from ebay, which was about the only supplier I could find:

Thanks again,

I guess there is plenty of confusion to go around. I have one of these little adaptors to allow me to read 2GB SD cards in my Zaurus (which is limited to 1GB in size for the SD slot, but can read larger cards in the CF slot).

I suspect it will not work for SDHC (read: 4GB and above) cards. But hey, you can pick up 2GB SD cards for a song now, that everyone wants the bigger cards.

I'll try my SD in CF adaptor with my 8GB SDHC card tonight and let you know how it goes.
