Which Compact FLASH cards support DMA?


The current Sandisk -388 model CF cards support multi-word DMA.

The only shipping CF cards from SanDisk’s OEM channel today are the -388 series.  All of these cards ship in two versions as either fixed or removable and with multi-word DMA support.   
You may wish to contact Sandisk to ascertain product availability.
 
These cards are available for purchase from Arrow Electronics: http://www.arrownac.com Part Numbers: SDCFCF-001G-388, SDCFCF-002G-388, SDCFCF-004G-388 or SDCFCF-008G-388.
 
An update per Lexar:
 
"Any Lexar Media CF cards rated at 133x or higher transfer rate support DMA operation in our adaptors."  No word from Lexar regarding their other model CF cards or the availability of cards labeled as fixed or removable.
