How to use with an older BIOS requiring Cylinders/Heads/Sectors ?

You can get a datasheet from the manufacture of the CF card, which should give the specifications of the logical drive format. An alternative would be to install the adapter with a CF card in a newer computer, and autotype/autoconfig the drive, write down the C/H/S, and enter this into the drive type 47 of the older computer.

Which Compact FLASH cards support DMA?

Why am I getting spurious or non-operation?

Why does Windows XP show some CF cards as 'Removeable' and others as 'Hard Drives' ?

I can fdisk and format the CF card under DOS, but Linux / Solaris fails to mount the device?

Will the "-FRA" version fit into an IDE connector on a motherboard ?
