Purchased? Then it must habe been damned cheap. :-)
The PIX-520 is out of support from mid this year.

PIX-OS 6.x requires a 16 MB flash card. 

So for PIX-OS 6.x get a 16MB flash card, or exchange your PIX-520 for an
PIX-515e or PIX-525, or even better go for an ASA-5510 Sec+ or ASA-5520.
Then you can use PIX-OS 7.x (IOS-like CLI)

If you want to stay with your PIX and Flash, then go for PIX-OS 5.x or 4.x. :-)
