Long time rack user here 😀 Had 3 but sold the last one DSP 4500 during Covid.
Couldn’t live with one so just bought a H80000FW 😀
Updated the firmware OK using the flash card 4Gig. Reformatted the card hoping to use it to store presets but when saving I can’t select the card as an option?
I assume you mean you are using a CF card with a PCMCIA adapter? My initial intuition The H8000 is very picky about the formats of the CF card; we recommend only using the format that the card is programmed with out of the box (FAT16, with certain flags set), but most OS’s don’t support FAT16 formatting easily. I would suggest trying a tool like gparted (https://gparted.org/ ) to format the drive as FAT16. Note: that tool will just as happily format your hard drive, so exercise care.

Hello,
Thanks, after reformat a second time it does give the option to select the card but says not enough memory and reads  -12xxxxx on available memory so not liking this card.
bought 2 cards off eBay a 2gig and a 512mb and both work fine.
so yeah seems it’s a size issue.
The 2 gig has plenty of space to store hundreds or even thousands of presets and even the 512 would be enough to store hundreds so anything above 2 gig isn’t needed.
