I got two 128mb compact flash cards off ebay, they didn't work in the 200LX either. That left me with it had to be a problem with the 200LX or the compactflash to pcmcia adapter I was using. Went to bestbuy and got a cf->pcmcia adapter and it works fine now. So it would appear the cf->pcmcia adapter that I robbed from an old digital cam was "nonstandard", as it works in the cam. So last night I was able to boot up unix on the 200LX. Like a geek I was giggling all night. Very cool to have a multiuser unix box in my shirt pocket :) Jay --- [This E-mail scanned for viruses by Declude Virus]
