Title: Great CF deal!
Post by: benkrembs on October 26, 2004, 10:13:50 am
Okay, I just saw this deal for two, 2.2 GB CF+ Type II MicroDrives (http://www.compgeeks.com/details.asp?invtid=GS1022C-N&sourceid=qIq2QX5ZQ0epAkqBXnVZ) for only $82 each.  I've been looking for a bigger flash card, and this looks like it.

But I had a couple of quick questions..

- Type II CFs don't work on all devices, will they work on the 6000?
- Will I have to do some special formatting because of the size, or will it just work?
- What're the downside to MicroDrives?   Longer/shorter battery life?  Same as normal flash?

Please respond quickly, cuz I don't know how long this deal will be around for!
