What's with the lust for Type II cards? Type II's are usually microdrives; a quick product search for non-microdrive Type II's shows very old low-capacity cards, a few 16GB cards, and slower 4GB and 8GB cards (which still seem to cost 4x as much as higher speed Type I cards). It seems like the first cards in a new capacity tend to be Type II, since they need space to squeeze in as much RAM as possible, and then as technology advances and memory gets smaller, the newer faster cards are Type I. And perhaps there are a few that use Type II case to be super rugged (but if my Axim takes a shock bad enough to kill a Type I card, the card is the least of my worries). And of course, who'd want a Microdrive once the same capacity becomes affordable in flash memory? Save a couple hundred bucks, buy a Type I and put a bit of tape across the gap if it bothers you.
