Quoted from the FAQ on the CFFA site.

"The default firmware selected on the card supports four 32MB drives,
for a 128MB total. A second user selectable version of the firmware will
support eight 32MB drives for a total of 256MB. The reason for not going
with the 8 drive version is that ProDOS 8 only supports 13 total
volumes, including the floppies, etc. So if I take up 8 drives, I may
cut off access to some other hardware you already have, like a SCSI
drive. That is why I will have two versions of firmware that are user
selectable."

so an 1 GB flash card is overkill.
