Just wondering if there was any more word on the 8GB issue?
it's not looking good. I got this response from Tascam last week:
Jason,
It has been confirmed with the Engineering Department that the maximum CF card that can be used with the HD-P2 is 8GB. It has also been confirmed that this maximum capacity limit cannot be extended with by a firmware update.
Thank you for your interest in TASCAM products.
I've written them a couple times in repsonse to that. mostly because I think it's a bunch of BS that the issue cannot be resolved with a firmware update. But I'm losing hope that Tascam actually cares enough about the issue to fix it. Logically, it makes absolutely no sense why there is a hard limit. in the HD-P2, all stoarge volumes over 2GB are formatted at FAT32, so why should it make any difference if the storage volume is 4 GB, 8GB, 16GB, or 32GB? the answer, it shouldn't make any difference, and Tascam is being lazy because they don't care about the issue.
So, while my hope is fading, I'm still emailing them, and I think as many people as possible should be emailing them as well. the more people who contact them, the more they might get the point that that shouldn't just ignore this issue.
