Sandisk Ultra II CF

[Simon Wilton]

Does anyone know if Sandisk Ultra II cards can be used in true IDE mode and
marked non-removeable.

Some of the cards I've had from other makers work in a PCMCIA or USB
adapter, but not in the CF slot straight on the IDE of my embedded board.

Sandisk have sent me 2 utilities, one of which marks the older cards
non-removeable.The other is for a 'different family of CF cards', but I
don't know if that means Ultra II.

TIA

Simon

Yep, been using these with no problems.

Some of the cards I've had from other makers work in a PCMCIA or USB

You use the new one "atcfwchg.com". With flash in 1st primary IDE type
atcfwchg /p /f and a big "PASS" appears if successful. Also seem to
think you must power cycle the computer between changing multiple cards.

Hope this helps,
David.
