Type II cards are thicker and won't even fit into the Book Port's card slot. 
You will almost _never_ find a type II card, especially somewhere as 
technically relatively unsophisticated as a drugstore, since they're only 
sold for very specialized applications.

Subject: [bookport] Type 1 and 2 CF cards


Well, I went to London Drugs today (only in Westren Canada) and they had a 1
GIG CF card on for $59. But the guy said he couldnt tell if it was type one
or two, didnt say anywhere on the package. I decided that since they have a
return policy I may as well buy it and try it. Sure enough, it works just
fine.

What is the difference between Type 1 and Type 2? How can I tell which one
is which? And what is the reason Type 2 supposedly doesnt work? Thanks!

Christine
