Pamela, someone from APH stated at one point that there is no reason eight gig cards shouldn't work that they see, this is qhat I was quoting. I didn't mean to put any misinformation out there.

Actually, I don't know who started that, but both Rob and I have been
telling people that 8 gig cards may or may not work, since their
structuring is a little different.  We certainly don't support their
use, as we have not tested them.  However, I do agree with Bruce on one
point:  As Compact Flash is phasing out, it isn't likely that we're
going to be doing any testing on them, since this would require changes
in the firmware to fix any problems therein.  Mainly, I just want to
clarify that we aren't stating any claim they will work.

APH believes that eight-gig cards will work, but that hasn't been
conclusively proven. As CF cards are on their way out, they are not
likely
to get much larger than they currently are.
