    The uController SD card adapter - ucontroller.com/index_pro1.html

    containers the necessary pull-up resistors. It comes presoldered with a header that can plug into a solderless breadboard or a 6 pin female header.

    I second Brian's suggestion, I have two of his SD card adaptors in use. They work well with the demoboard as well as his Spin Studio system, and the new one comes fully assembled with the side header for breadboard work, you only need to solder to add the SpinStudio connector to it.

    Brian's sd adapter from Ucontroller is GREAT!!!!

    ·I have purchased 4 boards from him and they are all sweet. I use the t.v. controller and the s.d. card for hours everyday for about a year now with no probs.



    I use a 1gb Kinston sd card I just grabbed from the store. Format at fat in window xp and everything flys.

    Now I know where to get a SD adapter for a great price! Thanks!

    Currently, I use a SD socket I salvaged from a dead SD card reader soldered to a pref board. It shares signal lines with a
    keyboard and mouse connector on the back I cut from a dead computer MOBO. There is also a pair of wires to connect to
    one of those yellow video cables for NTSC video (forgot the name at the moment) and the required resistors.

    For the SD card, I use anything laying around, like 1GB KDATA, 32 MB generic brand, 2 GB Kingston, and a ton of others. Everything
    works, even without pull up resistors.

    Edit: Added a pic.
