We've done some upgrades of both RE3s and RE2s in our lab to 1g. On the RE3 it's extremely simple as it's designed to be a FRU. You just open a latch and replace the card. On the RE2 you have to remove the faceplate and about 5 screws on the bottom to remove the daugtherboard that the HD sits on and then the CF is on a daughterboard underneath that. We tried using some el-cheapo CF cards from Micro Center and those did not work. We had to use regular Sandisk 1g CF cards.
