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.240 CF cards and microdrives are IDE devices and should work as any hard disk.

MBR will then be created automatically when partitioning the drive. 243 243 244 === Known good Compact Flash cards === 245 * Apacer Photo Steno Pro II 256 MB, 100x 246 247 === Known Compact Flash cards with problems === 248 * Apacer Photo Steno 64 MB, no speed rating: too slow, MBR must be re-created to be able to boot 249 * Apacer Photo Steno 256 MB, no speed rating: too slow, MBR must be re-created to be able to boot 250 * Apacer Photo Steno III 512 MB, 88x: does not work as slave drive 251 252 === Known good microdrives === 253 * Hitachi 6GB (model HMS360606D5CF00) 254 255 === Known microdrives with problems === 256 * Seagate ST1.2 4GB (model ST64022CF): does not work as slave drive 257 * Magicstor 4GB (model GS10040A-11 47): MBR must be re-created to be able to boot 258 259 260 == Problems with certain hard disks == 261 262 === Quantum ProDrive LPS 340AT === 263 The drive does not properly support block mode transfers when interrupts are disabled.
