Thanks all, I ordered the 512MB San Disk CF.
There are Type I, II, & III, the differences are thickness and voltage. I
used to be able to tell you what was what. I know Type III are rather thick
by CF standards and include some of the very micro drives, very tiny hard
drives.
I think Type 1 are 3.3 volts and II 5, but someone can correct me on that.
