Wondering if anyone knows of any way to expand the storage capabilities of the FD88 beyond the rather annyoying limitation of a HD floppy.
THanks

There are limits to what the calculator can display in symbolic form, and roots beyond the second (square roots) are beyond its capabilities. Even something as simple as the cube root of 2 will be displayed numerically.
It's the same thing, it 'expands' your storage and basically gives you more space to store thing. It's an advertising thing. You cannot expand whats inside your computer, that would require you to replace the hard disk itself. It's just a word they put in to make their product more attractive I believe.
On non-smart phones with limited onboard memory they limit the ringtones to 10 seconds for a reason. If it was longer it takes more onboard memory which slows the complete functionality of the phone. If this is something you were very interested in look for a smart-phone with SD capable storage expansion. I would look for an HTC/Blackberry/iPhone as they are dedicated MP3 players as well as capable to have ringtones longer than 10 seconds. I use MP3 Direct Cut to cut my ringtones manually and for those 3 devices they all have app stores to cut and crop your ringtones to size. If this phone is capable of doing it, the file might be too big, try lowering the quality of the mp3 by using Winamp/Windows Media Player.
Yes this can be done and the only limit on size is the drive size. The current max size for mainstream drives is around 2TB so make sure the adapter will host more then one SATA ports as at least 2 drives will be required.
Also make sure the adapter card will work with the Operating System as many are designed to be used under Windows only so if you are running Linux or BSD, there may be no support. The other limit is the fact that the PCI is not a fast bus by current computer technology standards. If there are additional PCI devices such as network interface cards, integrated graphics, modems, soundcards, game controller adapters, USB expansion ports, Firewire expansion ports, etc.. theses devices will all be sharing the bandwidth of the PCI bus, leading to slow read and write performance of the additional storage.
If you are adding these drives to have fast storage, I suggest saving the money for a new system that makes use of current technology.
Make sure you format the card in the phone and not using an external card reader.
Also make sure you are not using a card that is beyond the capability of the phone. The phone is limited to 4GB cards.Use only cards that are 4GB and lower capacity.
If you still have problems I would try getting another brand of card, Kingston and Sandisk have worked well for me.
