I haven't tried it myself yet...

But the lady on the phone was definetely wrong....
The CF Type II spec is fully backwards compatible with the Type 1 spec...

The cards will fit, the device will be able to access the card...

Only possible problem would be if there was no driver support for the card, but that's independant of Type 1 or 2.

This is from www.compactflash.org:
"The only difference between CF Type I and CF Type II cards is the card thickness. CF Type I is 3.3 mm thick and CF Type II cards are 5mm thick. A CF Type I card will operate in a CF Type I or CF Type II slot. A CF Type II card will only fit in a CF Type II slot. The electrical interfaces are identical."
