But, I have 32gb that work in all my pc's and my phone but don't work in my m5paper. I did have to use as CS of 4 in the SD.begin() call, this is not documented in the SD_Test example.

It seems I might have to give it the CS values, but that value doesn't seem to make any difference either (I'm using 4, as that is the value on the back of the M5Paper)
