Sorry! I didn't see the original post. You already knew this.
Yes, I have had excellent experiences with my 340MB CF microdrives, and
if you cough up the auctions you're seeing, I will buy more :-)

I
don't know what you mean by "ST1". But I had an IBM 340MB CF
Microdrive when they were brand new. It still works.
I'm working on a project that would normally take a standard (i.e.
flash) CF card, but I'm debugging code and I'd like to use something
that was a little more tolerant of repeated writing.
