More news on CF

[Sven Utcke <utcke@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

this morning I tested some more CF-cards.  The 32MB SanDisk card
SDCFB-32-485 works nicely, and will provide you with 31.981.568 free
Bytes of additional disk-storage.  The 48MB card SDCFB-48-485 however
did _not_ work, giving a "Write Protect Error".  This is however not
particularly surprising, as the programs to call are

sdisk b:
sformat b:

and this already indicates that only one drive will be prepared.  The
DOS on the Sharp can however only deal with drives up to 32MB in
size...

Sven

PS: I know this is probably asking a lot, but does anyone of you have
    a non-SanDisk 5V CF-card smaller than 32MB he could borrow me for
    some experiments?  It turns out rather difficult to lay my hands
    on any non SanDisk cards...
