    238238== Problems with Compact Flash cards and microdrives ==
    239239
    240 CF cards and microdrives are IDE devices and should work as any hard disk. Unfortunately there are many CF cards and microdrives with limitations. Some of them only work as a master drive and not as a slave drive. Some of them requires MBR to be re-created before they can be booted. Avoid CF cards without speed ratings. They are too slow to be used as a hard disk replacements.
