Hello forum,
Just bought the Jornada 680.
I am about to buy a 8GB CF card because the internal memory is too small.
Is there a limit of the size?
Thanks,

This has been asked here many times. We have a tutorial that covers this:

http://www.hpcfactor.com/support/cesd/h/0044.asp

The 8 GB card should read fine as long is it is formatted to FAT or FAT32; however, newer CF cards larger than 8 GB appear to have an issue with cluster density, so they may not read correctly. We therefore recommend only using CF cards that are 8 GB or smaller in size.

And I never use a CF card larger than 8 GB because I can't afford a bigger one.

You can always use the storage brick driver. I have successfully used this driver on my Jornada 728 with a 32GB compact flash memory card.

That won't work on the 680, violantos, since it's CE 2.11 with an SH3 processor.
