Gabriel,

I am following up on your previous thread.

http://groups.google.co.uk/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&threadm=0e7c01c3af77%24c5b04b20%24a301280a%40phx.gbl&rnum=1&prev=/groups%3Fq%3Dcompact%2520flash%2520dma%2520windows%2520ce%2520problem%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26ie%3DUTF-8%26sa%3DN%26tab%3Dwg

I have what appears to be a very similar problem and would like to get some
feedback from you. If anyone else can provide feedback I would be grateful.

I currently have a system that is having problems with Compact Flashes.
There has been two batches of Commercial SanDisk CF that have been used: -
one works and the other doesn't. The problem is that when trying to view the
directory structure on the CF then it does not show a complete listing. Both
these CF can be fully read from a Windows 2000 system using a card reader, so
there is not a problem with the CF data itself. The problem only occurs when
used in a Windows CE system.

Do you understand the particular reason why one type of SanDisk CF worked
and the other didn't. I am trying to determine what characterises a good CF
and bad CF. I can then make sure that I am buying the correct type - not
necessarily SanDisk. I can then go to any manufacturer and get a correct
specification.

Are there any settings that I can change in the driver/registry to allow a
greater range of CF to be used?

As a general point is there anything that I can do to ensure that a Compact
Flash will work on my system? I don't want to have to go through a trial and
error phase for each type of CF. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,
John
