Re: AW: Compact Flash cards for Repeater??

["Jon Wagner" <jondrums@hotmail.com>]

It is not a speed issue.  The repeater uses the card to emulate an IDE 
interface, which is different then just about all other devices that uses 
compact flash cards.  You have to find one with the hitachi chipset.  
These 
aren't made any more, which sucks, but your timing is good because you can 
still get them from a company called pretec.  For more information get 
onto 
the repeater users yahoo group, there are specific part numbers there of 
verified cards.
