The CompactFlash Association (CFA) was established in October, 1995 as a nonprofit, mutual-benefit corporation with the premise that CompactFlash technology will result in the introduction of a new class of advanced, small, lightweight, low-power mobile products that will significantly increase the productivity and enhance the lifestyle of millions of people. The concept behind CompactFlash technology is simple: to capture, retain and transport data, video, audio and images.

Type II CompactFlash is 5.0mm thick. Devices with Type II slots can accept either Type I or II CompactFlash, while...

If your card is a CompactFlash Storage Card, and not a hard-disk based "microdrive" CF card, then the answer is almost certainly Yes. The vast majority of CF cards work with the Athena CF Enabler. (Note that, though we don't officially support the hard-disk based microdrives yet, many of our customers have told us the microdrive CF cards work fine already―in Read-Only mode.

No. To avoid creating problems for digital cameras that might later try to read a picture file from the COMPACTFLASH Card, the Frame allows pictures on a COMPACTFLASH Card to be copied, deleted, shared, and uploaded for print orders, but they cannot be rotated.

With the holes (for contact pins) of the card facing the Frame, insert the card with its label facing up – if the Frame is laying face up, insert the card so its label is facing up as well. Be sure to insert the COMPACTFLASH Card completely.

Compatible with all CFA compliant devices, but will only see the increased speed in high performance cameras Compatible with the PC card adapter and the SanDisk CompactFlash reader and any other reader compatible with our current CompactFlash cards

I am using my CF card as a physical disk. Whenever I try to save, I can't because the disk is locked. I unchecked the "Write protect drive letter" in the Change DOS drive letter wizzard, but it will not stay unchecked. After reboot, it is back, and I still can't save.

PocketDOS can be installed to and run from a Compact Flash card. When you install PocketDOS it prompts you for an install directory, you just need to enter the name of a folder on your CF card at this point (eg. \Storage Card\PocketDOS).

If you decide on an IDE-CompactFlash adapter plus CompactFlash card solution, you will need to choose the correct adapter. Logic Supply carries a range of adapters allowing customers to use CompactFlash cards to create solid-state systems. (See Accessories.) Casetronic cases require specific adapters. Other cases will take the 2G, the 1E, or the 5H. The 2G mounts in place of a notebook HD. (Note: to use the 2G, you will need a Notebook HD to IDE Converter (2.5" to 3.5").

While traditional computer systems typically use hard disk drives for storage of data and programs, solid-state systems instead rely on devices without moving parts. The solid-state advantage is the decreased chance of hardware failure, especially in harsh environments. Solid-state systems can be constructed by substituting flash memory for hard disks.

All VIA mainboards accept our CompactFlash adapters. The case determines which adapter you should use. The VIA EPIA MII and MS mainboards accept CF cards through their onboard CF readers. The VIA EPIA MII mainboards cannot boot CF cards using the built-in CF reader, but the VIA EPIA MS mainboards can.

While we allow writing 192 kHz sample rate files with CompactFlash, some slower CF cards may have throughput problems and have media errors. The user will be notified with a warning tone in headphones and a front-panel indication that a write error has occurred. Our on-board CF speed tester is a good tool to determine if writing to 192 kHz is possible with the installed CF card. There are couple of things here. First, a WAV file on its own isn’t technically limited to 2 GB.

It's rare, but it can happen, like if you eject the card while the camera is still writing to it. At the very worst, you will have to reformat the card. Sometimes the camera is smart enough to do this on its own, but if things are really hosed, you will have to use a PCMCIA carrier and a laptop computer to reformat the card. Use the standard DOS format command.

Usually. The only time you shouldn't remove the card is when the camera is processing images. If the red "Busy LED" is blinking, leave it alone until the camera finishes. Otherwise, it's perfectly fine to pull the card with the camera on, and insert it into a running computer. The red "Memory Busy" LED is not the same as the green "Please Wait" LED next to the viewfinder. The memory LED is hidden under the CompactFlash eject button. When this one is blinking, do not eject your memory.
