:coolguy:

Thanks for the feedback on the Kingston 32gb, I'll probably go ahead an order one of those then.

On disarming the mix track -- could have sworn I tried that, but I must have missed the obvious.  Does it still keep showing the levels for the mix track even though it stops recording?  Maybe that was the confusion.
Mics: Microtech Gefell m20/m21 (nbob/pfa actives), Line Audio CM3, Church CA-11 cards
Preamp:  none <sniff>
Recorders:  Sound Devices MixPre-6, Sony PCM-M10, Zoom H4nPro

For the record, I'm using Lexar 16 and 32 gig cards all of which say Platinum II 60x on them.
Don't know the Class. Got a deal on them and thankfully there's been no problem with any of them.
Run a max of 6 tracks configured as 3x stereo tracks so far, occasionally forgetting to disable the mix track.

Pretty sure it does show the levels on the disabled mix track.

Really digging this unit - its been flawless for me even after days of blazing all-day Colorado heat taping all my friend's mics as well as my own :)
Love the upgrade that lets you operate it completely from the top panel. That's key.

Only issue I've had was not getting it to sync the digi-in with skaggsies HD-P2 digi-out.
Didn't try very hard to troubleshoot though.  Understand it syncs witha v3 no problem.
Could this be a "both want to be master clock" sort of situation?

I've used a P2 with this unit also.  I set the P2 for external clock spdif source or something like that.  I don't think you can have the 680 be a slave deck to anything but another 680?  I could be wrong.  But by using the 680 as the master clock it allowed for 8 channels plus the two on the P2.  It would seem that if the 680 did allow any external clock input via spdif that you would have to sacrifice the two spdif channels for clock and not be able to use them for audio.
