Type II (2) cards are thicker and won't fit in the BookPort slot.
They're usually microdrives, little hard disks hiding inside CF packaging, which
is why they're bigger. This is not a problem, however, because most flash
based cards are type I(1), and because the flash based cards have gotten to
the size where they can hold more data than the old microdrive based devices
could, you mostly encounter type I(1) cards now.
Glad the new card is working for you.
