is prophet 6.1 compatible with SDHC and 8 gb to 32 gb cards anyone?

if someone has achieved anything with sdhc and 8gb to 32 gb detection please confirm it in this thread

is there some specific dll or drivers which took it to be achieved please share.

sandisk http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/04/sandisk-announces-32gb-ssd-prices-begin-to-fall/

and panasonic http://www.dpreview.com/news/0801/08010806panasonic32gbsdhc.asp

both confirm 32gb cards ,

one important thing i would like to add is windows xp supports formatting in FAT32 only till 32gb beyond that we need partition magic 8 to format cards in FAT upto 80 GB as tested by me (80GB hard drive here)

getting detected is one issue ,formatting is another , and running without errors is third most important issue.

i also saw my prophet incompatible with sandisk 2gb sdhc but it is running 4GB NCP non-sdhc card from last 1 year without any troubles.

there could also be some ways to attatch these 8gb sdhc micro sd (with clips provided)cards to prophet too. i mean one can use sd slot with mini sd and microsd also assumably with clips .

this is important if one plays S2P player like i*p*H*O*N*E or storing tomeraider wiki pedia which already is 3gb plus.

Personnaly I've tested my 4GB Micro-SDHC (with adaptator) from my Artemis to my Prophet with differents drivers found in "developement and hacking" section but never work, not detected.
It seem that the Prophet's card controller is too old and that not a driver issue.
But yes, if people can say their Xperience with that...

I think the hardware will not support it... SDHC hardware uses longer address bits, but 4GB cards can use the normal (no HC) address bits.

Unless you're good with soldering and can get the ICs required, you won't be able to get a Prophet to run a large memory card...
