Should we be using type 1 or type 2?

Thanks,

Michael:  Thre are now 8GB card out there.  Can one use them if one
records more than one file, of course?  That would indeed be
wonderful for my work!  I wonder why IRTI is saying that there is a
2GB limit as far as the card capacity is concerned.  I believe you
are correct we the 2GB file size limit with SF, at least the older
versions of the software.
