Insert a CompactFlash (CF) Card and increase the data storage of your notebook,
palmtop, personal digital assistant (PDA), pen-based mobile computer,
digital camera, or PCMCIA equipped PC. The CompactFlash Cards were designed specifically to be a mass
storage device. The cards include an intelligent controller that
provides two key features: flash media control and PC Card (IDE)
interface. Also included in the card's controller is a sophisticated
defect and error management system. This system is analogous to the
systems found in all magnetic disk drives. All of these control features
are completely transparent to the host system and do not consume any
user data space. ATA CompactFlash Card are 100% compatible with
operating systems, utilities, and application programs that support IDE
disk drives.
