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.

possible to raise that limit. In fact, we can buy 8 gigabyte Kingston
CF cards on state contract now for $130. Just imagine how nice that
would be to have an 8 gigabyte CF card that could handle a large number
of audio books, music, notes, etc.
