Both Compactflash.device and FAT95 support TD64 which basically means that cards can go well over 1 TB, so I doubt the 4GB size is the problem.

You can try to edit the CF0 mountfile and change this (got it from the compactflash.device doc):

Damaged or simply not quite officially standardized cards may sometimes
cooperate using

    Flags = 2    /* skip invalid PCMCIA signature */

BTW Some users have reported problems when using certain brands.
The new ones from Kingston for example (with the flowers on it) seem to be quite problematic for some users.

I'm using a 2 GB Sandisk Ultra II CF in combination with a Transcend PCMCIA CF adapter.
Works like a charm !!!

Just to be sure, make sure that you've installed the following:

- Cardreset
- CardPatch
- Fat95
- compactflash.device

I put cardpatch and cardreset in user-startup.
