Iirc the alauda could do about 400kB/s. Speed didn't change noticeably
between 16M and 256M cards. My conclusion back then was to blame the
alauda chip. If you get even less, the problem likely isn't in the
cards but in the reader and/or your driver.

Fair enough. If either of the two people who still use such cards
cares... ;)
