Title: Ultra II Card Flash Ok in A1200?
Post by: stefcep2 on February 26, 2008, 09:19:41 AM
Has anyone tried one of these with an ide to cf adaptor?  Does it work like normal cf?

No reason why not. It's just designed for more pro camera users who want a fast continuious shooting mode. Just dont expect it to be any faster then ordinary ones.

you should be fine.
i have an Ultra2 CF card in a CF2IDE adapter, hooked into an IDE2SCSI bridge card connected to an A500 GVPHD8+
plus i have an Ultra3 connected the same way to an A500 GVPA530.

all working well :)

:lol: , was thinking about it to see if i could hook up an Sata drive, but Compact flash... mere words cannot describe the heavenly sound of silence after suffering the whining howl of a 17+yr old 52Mb SCSI drive :-)

Great thanks, these are $6 cheaper than the originals (!!).  I thought the A1200 ide interface wouldn't "keep up with it", whatever that might mean..

It won't. The A1200 IDE interface will be the bottleneck - so the card will slow down.

I have 3 of them (2 GB versions) and they work great, via IDE or PCMCIA. :cheers:
