Only used bigger cards internally.  I use my CF card for transfers so I have a 32Mb & 128Mb for the PCMCIA adaptor.  Certainly use original SANDisk Ultra II CF Cards, 4GB in my A1200 and 8GB in my A4000.
I think FAT16 has a maximum partition size of 2GB.  Yep just checked it now on Microsoft.
So Less than 2GB is probably the go.  

Anyone used more than that in a PCMCIA adaptor.?

I just got a PATRIOT 8GB, and still my A600 and A1200 can not see it thorough PCMCIA. What brand is the most compatible? Only SANDISK? What kind of SANDISK?


I would only trust an original SANDISK Ultra II. There are lots of fakes.
Surely 4GB is heaps and if it's not, get 2.

Could someone please verify for CodeHunter that a 4GB SANDisk Ultra II CF Card will work in an A1200 CF adaptor.  Formatted Fat 32.  Thanks.  I don't have a square to spare.
