Not that I've seen with 3 different supplier's CF cards I've used in
both my WinCE box and in an embedded 386 application.

Simple works great.

: - would it be safer to stick to SanDisk ?
I've use 64MB SanDisk, 48MB SanDisk and 32MB Viking CF cards w/o
trouble in my Everex Freestyle A-10.
However the Z50 is known to be a little pickier about these cards than
most. Or am I confusing that with the CF microdisk that IBM makes?
