Hi.

Just wanted to let you know that I had very similar experiences with my CF cards:
My SanDisk would not work as an IDE slave, my Lexar did. Also, my TRGpro handheld works smoothly with the Lexar, but has a lot of trouble working with the SanDisk one. My notebook also reads and writes the Lexar just fine (with a CF to PC-Card adapter), but to read the SanDisk one, I had to get a USB reader for it.

cu,
sven
