What brand/size of CF do you have?

If it's not listed on the web page, then it should be!
(With a note about the driver problem of course)

I just got my z50 today and I'm holding off on CF for a while. I happen to
have a 170 MB ATA Type III drive leftover from something else, and it works
ok under WinCE, so with any luck I can use that until I decide what CF to buy.
