Found: Compact Flash Card (512mb)

[bluejay]

I need a Compact Flash Card to use with my Compaq Portable and a CF2IDE device, 512mb or less. I'd rather have the maximum of 512mb the Compaq can work with, but 256 mb is fine, and I can work with 128mb if it really comes down to it. I don't mind whatever form of shipping you use--even a normal paper envelope is fine, as it is so small. I'd like one for around $5 shipped, depending on the size.

Thanks!

How about a 64MB Kodak PictureCard (CF)? I have one with your name on it, and it works fine

Hm... if it's 64mb I'll have to think about it for a bit... I'd rather have something with overkill size so I'd never run out of memory. Thanks for asking though:)

Since CF is very much an IDE device, you will want something that your BIOS and setup can work with.

 

If your BIOS can't handle it you can get an extension BIOS like in XT-IDE. Blue Lava Systems makes a nice interface card, 8-bit, that has a cf interface and BIOS in one. Not cheap at 40 or 50 bucks. But they do give you a free 64mb cf card.
