Max size of CF card

Hi,

After reading a lot of posts here about the PCMCIA slot and its different connection options, I still couldn't find what would the maximum size of a CF card with a PCMCIA reader. There's talk about the different Types (I,II,III) and supposing that the COMMAND only accepts CF of type I and II, what would be the highest capacity CF one could use ?

Thanks.

Are you sure that the command can not accept typeIII CF cards?

I really wish someone here will advice on the CF cards that can work. I'm tired of looking for another SDHC adapter as my first one which I waited for so long turns out to be uncompatible.

I use a 16GB Compact Flash card without a problem. THIS one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820211170

Just remember not to have more than 255 FOLDERS, or some of your music will not show up in COMAND.

I don't really know if it is Type I or Type II...but it works! I use a CF to PCMCIA adapter I got a Fry's for $10. Any compact flash pcmcia adapter should work fine.

Good luck
