Hello:
I've purchased three of the sandisk 2GB Ultra II CompactFlash memory cards
in the past six months, and I swear by them. Now, two things: (1), they're
not cheap, ($179.95 from buy.com), and (2) yes, despite the "ultra II"
marketing designation, they *are type 1 cards; I know, as I said, I own and
use three of them.
My initial reason for choosing cards with such fast write-rewrite speeds was
because I also wanted / envisioned these cards being used in my plextalk
PTR1 recorder as well as my book port.
Mindful of Rob Meridith's comments, if you can get a *reliable 2GB CF card
for $99, I'm not sure the increased navigation speed in the book port is
worth the additional $80 you'll pay for a sandisk card, but also, keep in
mind that the sandisk cards come with a lifetime warranty; won't help you
much as far as data loss if you haven't backed up your card data to your
hard drive or other storage medium, but at least you won't be out almost two
C notes.

card as taken from the buy.com website...for informational purposes only.
