can I buy it online? or in a computer store ?
does it have to be a Tascam card ? or can any card do the job ?

in advance, thanks :)

There must be older posts about this, but if you can, get a small size CF-card. IIRC, the larger ones give problems. Look for sizes like 128 or 256 MB or less.

There has been discussion about this in this forum. IIRC 256MB already started giving problems, but you'd have to do a search (top right side of forum). Use Site Results (tab) and not Google Results.

FYI, I have been using the 16MB CF-card that came with the mixer and still do. It maybe came out twice in the last eleven years. I make regular project backups in TMC so there is no need to mess with it.
 
Interesting aspect, about the size at which CF cards get flaky.
I think it has EVERYTHING to do with 1) the make & quality of the card and 2) the specific equipment you're using it in.
Speaking for myself: I've always liked the orderly manner in which smaller cards (16, maybe 32MB) allow you to keep projects organized/separate...on the other hand, I have a vintage DigiTech GNX4 (guitar multi-FX and 8-track recorder in one) that uses CF storage - and I have a 2GB CF card in it, and it works spectacularly! Go figure...
