Replacing the HDD
In case of a malfunction, the original hard disk can be exchanged for a Compact Flash card. Make sure that the replacement card supports the ability to be used as a "fixed disk". Usually these are called "industrial grade" cards.
"Consumer grade" CF cards are usually detected as "removable drives" and won't work in the scope. Since the scope supports FAT16, the maximum partition size is roughly 4GB.
A standard 2Gb Transcend TS2GCF133 card has been verified to work in both the 2.5" HDD and PCMCIA versions of the HD option.
