    Konica Minolta copiers are extremely picky when it comes to the CF cards and it all comes down to the read / write speed. If the speeds aren't what the copier likes, it won't talk.

    My only advise is to order one from Konica Minolta as it is garunteed to work then.
    Please don't ask me for firmware or service manuals as refusal often offends.

      The maximum size recommended by KonMin is 256mb. I have been using the same SimpleTech 128mb card for 5 years, it works on all colour machines from C250/252 up to C353 line. The speed is not printed on it so I can't help you there.

        I got all my cards on eBay for about $9 each at the time.

        128mb and 256mb kodak cards work in everything without fail.

        this is the style ive used time and time again without fail

          I have a c352 that stopped taking the SanDisk CF 128 card that worked before.

          I just ordered and successfully flashed with PQI 128mb card (witch is actually a Toshiba card, wich is what konica OEM cards are) , and SanDisk 256mb Ultra II.

          One i got on amazon, the other PQI's i found on ebay.
          Hope this helps.
