Does anyone here have any low-capacity compact flash cards to get rid of?
I'm talking around 256 megs or less.

I don't know about what David is doing this for, but I've got
something[1] that uses a CF card for storage, which claims it won't
work with >128MB cards (and it actually didn't work when I tried a
large one in it).

How about just getting a common-sized one and make the partition
"small enough" ?

I had a similar problem with a 4GB CF card in my digicam. Just flat
out gave the "card not usable" message and refused to do anything.
On a hunch, I plugged it into my Windoze system and did a FORMAT
/FS:FAT (to get a 16-bit FAT) and the thing worked fine, with the
exception of the exposure count reading "999".
I've got three 192MB cards here and will happily swap them for
something larger.
Cheers,
Chuck

It's for a 7-year-old digital camera that still works just fine for what I
use it for. There are also FPGA things I'd like to fiddle with that
involve putting code on CF.
