I like those 8GB cards, and at $31 each that's a good price. Let us know if they work!
I got one of these cards today. It came in a box that must have been 18" square, filled with paper and the card sitting directly on the top.
Put the card into the R09 and it showed 7:55 recording time available. Tried formatting, took a little longer than my transcend 4gb card, but formatted fine. It's now recording at 24/48. Seems OK.
I'm going to fill it up completely a couple of times to make sure it splits files up OK. So far it looks like a winner.
Oh yeah, I am running firmware 1.20
Edit to add:
Well it ran fine up until it tried to make it's first 2gb split, then I got the Slow Card warning and ended up with like 500 small files. I thought that firmware 1.20 was the one with the 8GB fix, but it looks like that was 1.30.
I just installed 1.30 and will let it record overnight. Hopefully I wake up to a couple of 2gb files. I'll post back tomorrow.
2nd edit: Well, I got the "Slow Card- press any button" flag again. This time it came after it filled the card completely. I got 3 files 2:04 long and one about 1:44 long. When I hit a button, the flag went away and the file was saved. Not sure if that is how the recorder acts when it's card is filled? I'll try filling it a couple more times times to see if it is constant.
