There is a plethora of Transflash / microSD cards out there.

At this point, we can recommand Sandisk cards, since they seem to cause the least amount of trouble.

Note that cards with a "no" may still work at times, but that we just have found their behaviour too erratic to consider acceptable. (Also note that this is a bug in our version of u-boot. The cards are probably fine.)
