OK so here's the deal... I bought a Sandisk 8GB Extreme III CF card and put it in my X51v. The Axim only registers it as a 1GB card.

I have read some posts that talk about "SDHC" incompatibility problems. I'm guessing that this is my problem. Can anyone confirm this?

Has anyone else tried this specific card in their Axim and gotten it to work?

I thought I might use Pocket Mechanic to format the card and possibly increase the size. PM shows the volume size as 2050209 sectors (1001.07 MB). Can I tweak this number and get it to see the whole card?

Again, my hunch is that the Extreme III 8GB CF is incompatible, and I am going to have to sell it on Ebay. Who makes an 8GB CF card that is compatible?
