Very appropriate SUBJECT :roll:

In any case there are Type I and Type II CF cards. If your device has a Type II slot then it will accept BOTH Type I and Type II cards. If it is Type I then it will ONLY accept Type I cards. Other than this the only possible reason why a particular Compact Flash card shouldn't work (at least for flash memory cards) would be associated with the timing.

My PDA (an old true blue hp Jornada 568) works with every CF flash card (Type I only) that I have tried whereas my Canon PowerShot S40 camera ONLY works 100 % reliable when used with SanDisk CF memory cards (NOT the Ultra version although I haven't even tried these). I tried four (4) other brands of CF memory cards in the camera and there were ALWAYS some problems with lost data, but NEVER with a SanDisk card! That is why I now have a 1 GB SanDisk CF card and a 128 MB SanDisk CF card (for emergencies) for the camera.

What is it you REALLY want to know? :devilboy:
