CF card and adaptor -parts numbers

[bobe]

Hello,

I need a CF card and adaptor for Konica Minolta to flash some copiers. Who knows the parts numbers and if I can order them from Konica. Thanks

You can use anny CF card. 128mb is an ideal size.

The reader/writer can be found at any Best Buy for around $10. No KM part#. Emujo

Not any CF card will work...
For instance, these (http://www.oempcworld.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=025194&AttributeCode[1]=Computer&gdftrk=gdfV24137_a_7c1396_a_7c4968_a_7c025194)do not work and has been verified by other associates that I work with.

I know for a fact that other cards simply will no work as well.
I have about 10 of these (http://www.amazon.com/Sandisk-128MB-Shoot-Store-Card/dp/B000COZ248)I use regularly with no problems.

You do not need any special adapter--any cf card reader should work

NOTE: Never, Never, Never format the card (although but I have for b/w machines without a problem, but I wouldn't advise it)
Here are some notes that I have collected from the c650 bulletins:

I use kodak branded 128 + 256mb cards without any issue.

back in the day i bought 10 of them for $10 each on ebay, quite hard to find these days.

and no, im not selling any of them ;)

some crappy usb stick type cf card writers dont work properly with the imaging tool kit, but ive had success with just about every other usb multi card reader/writer.

Yea, I bought the ones I use one ebay for 5.00 a piece UNopened and got something like 27 of them with combined shipping (and gave several away as gifts =)

I would buy another 50 at that price just for the sheer convenience of having loaded firmware ready at any time; alas, I have not seen any deals for some time.

Searching for kodak 128 cf card this (http://www.oempcworld.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=020026&AttributeCode%5B1%5D=Computer&gdftrk=gdfV24137_a_7c1396_a_7c4928_a_7c020026&gclid=CJ3q-p-XibsCFaTm7AodensA8Q)is on the top in google--looks very similar to the part listed in the bulletin by KM...but it doesnt seem to be Kodak branded.

EarthKmTech, are you using this (http://www.shopping.com/Kodak-128-MB-CompactFlash-Card-812-6187/info?sb=1) exact type or a different one--I found several?
