    Compatible CF Cards - A list from the techies

    Here's the beginning of a list of known compatible compactflash cards - and those that don't work.I got that idea after following this thread. Post your feedback and I'll be updating the initial post.

    Here's the rundown:

    Work:

    - Extremememory 128Mb
    - Extremememory 256Mb
    - Verbatin 128Mb
    - Sandisk Ultra II 256MB
    - Toshiba 128MB


    Don't Work:

    - Lexar 512Mb
    - Kingston 256Mb

    Agree about Kingston, fail every time.

              Well, it seems that after a while it's not possible to edit threads - thanks a lot!

              Keep sending your feedback anyway - at least people will be able to use the seach feature.

                I think you have to doubleclick the edit button. Found out myself after one of the other members here reminded me once.

                  Nope, there's no edit button at all.

                    All of mine are pq1 128MB or Sandisk 256MB. All work. =^..^=
                    If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
                    1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
                    2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
                    3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
                    4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
                    5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.
