Anyone got the EZ-Flash V?

**Bensons** · 10th March 2007

I've got no worries about buying an M3 or an R4, but I've bought the EZ-F series II, III, and IV and have never had anything but good things to say about them. So, has anyone got/used the EZ-F V and is there any any reason for me to go for the M3/R4?

Cheers.

the 3 in 1 expansion package looks very nice.

i got one , but i reckon the r4 is easier and interface looks nicer etc

a developer is working on making the 3 in 1 addon work for other slot 1 cards , Im gonna grab one as soon as glen gets them in.

I still can't decide. I'm not in a massive hurry so I'm going to wait a bit and see how things pan out- I rushed and got one of the very first batch of EZ-IV's (the shoddy ones- it takes me 5 mins to pick the microSD out!) and wished I'd hung on for a bit.

im not impressed that the ic's are only protected by a label. None of the other slot 1 solutions are like that are they ?

some models of the R4 just have those cheapy blob chips, (whatever theyre officiallly called), i was quite impressed the EZFV had a proper chip in there.

"Cheapy blob chips?" The EZF-V has a "propper chip?" Sorry for being thick, can you explain please?

**maltloaf** · 29th March 2007

a proper chip is a real soldered on discrete component. A 'blobby' chip is where the logic is created on the circuit board itself and covered with a blob of resin.

is there any real quality issues with the blob chips then matz0r?

theyre definately not built for the long term, but unlikely to be unreliable. Its the same circuitry and technology (roughly) as the real chips just not in a proper package
