Hi Steve:
I had erased most of the messages in this thread; hence, I couldn't bring
myself fully up to speed about your situation.
I can't add anything beyond Michael Lang's most recent, excellent post. You
need an adaptor which will accept a CF card, and like Michael, I've found
the sandisk cards to be most reliable.
