Ummm, don't get SD, from what I have read the controller on the Z doesn't
support the extra bandwidth, and the SD support is non-free which means you
will get stuck using 2.4.6 or sharp sources. Of course though the MMC support
is also the non-free modules afaict at the moment, but I think that there does
exist a 2.4.18 kernel with free MMC support in it.
