Anyone know how to get access to the SD card on the SSD1963 LCD
I have the LCD bolted to the Xplor 100
I have been loading and saving stuff to the miniature SD Card on the XPLOR so far.

I think you emailed me about this.

The Micro-SD you have working now is all that the E100 will support.
There is a full-size socket on the 5" LCD module, but you CANNOT access more then ONE SD card on the system, so if you want to use the SD card socket on the LCD module, you cannot also use the on-board uSD socket on the E100 board.

This is simply cos MMBASIC only supports ONE SD card.

If you want to swap from the on-board uSD card to the full-size SD card on the LCD module, then at the command-prompt:

1) OPTION SDCARD DISABLE
2) OPTION SDCARD 47

For additional information, see this thread here:

https://www.thebackshed.com/forum/ViewTopic.php?TID=9037

The on-board uSD card socket is probably a better bet though, but if you just want to use the one on the LCD module, then just follow the above.

You have to disable the uSD card options as set first, to clear the pins used by the uSD card, and then reassign the new pin-47 as the CS pin for the full-size socket on the LCD module.  Pin-47 is specifically routed to the LCD SD card CS pin, so the above procedure will disable the on-board uSD card socket, and re-assign it to the SD card socket on the LCD module.

I hope that helps.
