RE: TX?
I do not have a Treo 650 but some very adventurous TC members *ARE* reporting success on their 650s. Anyone wanna take a crack at it?
On a related note, I'm actually very hesitant to recommend this as an everyday trick on the 700p to frequent travelers? Why? Well, unless you carry a spare "regular" SD card with the file on it, if you were to be on the road and suffer a hard reset, the driver would be zapped from RAM and you'd lose the entire contents of your nifty new SDHC card. Just a thought.
I'd LOVE for Palm to officially ring in the new year with the "gift" of this included as a ROM update for the 700p/TX/LD but I'm not counting on it. This gives Palm another marketing bullet point for their (final?) round of new POS devices in '07.

RE: TX?
Copying the file via Filez (from a regular SD card) to TX's RAM results in an endless reset loop. So I'm sorry to report that the TX is still limited to 4gb SD 1.1 cards.

RE: TX?
Treo 650 has the same problem when copying files to RAM (reset) but if you copy those files to ROM it works as reported on Treocentral (http://discussion.treocentral.com/tcforum/showthread.php?t=132339). Maybe the ROM-solution works also on TX.
RE: TX?
Well, I tested it using every manner I could think of on the TX and it's still a no-go. Nothing but endless reset loops.
It looks like it's STILL a Treo-only hack for the time being.
It'll probably take a miracle at this point--such as Dmitry Grinberg working his magic. Or, there's still the very slim chance Palm will end up releasing a TX2 or a T|E3 with native SDHC compatibility and someone can lift the slot driver out of a ROM image and hack it onto older Palms.

RE: TX?
Let's hope in Dmitry Grinberg or in a TX2!
RE: LifeDrive?
I'm assuming that since the TX is a no-go with the SDHC slot driver that a LD is a no-go as well. Everything else on the TX is more up-to-date software version wise over the LD (OS, core apps, Blazer, VM etc). Remember, the LD can take a 4gb SD 1.1 card w/ its FAT32 driver so it's not a total loss.
I have no idea why the Treos are so particularly future-proof in regards to SDHC...unless, of course, it's all planned by Palm. Maybe it has something to do with units built by Inventec (Treo 680 & 700p) vs. HTC (most other recent Palm devices including the WinMob Treos) vs. Asus (older PDAs like the T3) etc?
But this kind of thing goes on all of the time in the tech world. My old laptop, a Gateway, handled 2gb SD cards w/ no issues but my newer Core Duo Acer notebook chokes on 2gb and 4gb SD cards.

TX and others
We're never going to know if it could work if nobody tries this.
RE: TX and others
Copying the file onto the TX via Filez results in an endless reset loop. This file is for Treos *only*. I doubt a T5 or a LifeDrive would fare any better than the TX, being similar but older devices etc.

Old news, but...
http://mytreo.net/forum/index.php/topic,42932.msg344080.html#msg344080
Not that it changes anything, there may even be other people who have tried this earlier but didn't report publicly the result...
Anyway, thanks to EasyE and drbuzz0, and long live to Palm! :-)

TX?
Palm TX + 1GB SD + Motorola v3x = awesomeness
