Sart time for SOny PCM-M10 with memory card

["Peter Shute" pshute2]

I recently tried adding a 4GB memory card to my PCM-M10, and have found tha=
t it adds quite a few seconds to the start up time. It seems to check throu=
gh the memory before it's ready.

Is this normal, or do I need to format the card or something?

If it's normal, is the time proportional to the size of the card? If so the=
n I might cancel my plans to get a 16GB card to leave in the machine, and g=
et some 4GBs to keep in case the internal memory fills up instead.
