Does CF I card leave a "gap" in the CF slot?

Hi All,

I'm looking to purchase a compact flash card and I understand that I can use either a CF I or CF II card. The question that I have is, with the CF I card being smaller than the CF II card, does it leave a little gap in the slot up top? I've read somewhere on this site, in some thread (couldn't find it) about someone making a comment about a gap in the compact flash slot when using a CF I card because it's smaller and doesn't completely take up the whole slot. Can someone confirm that? I do not want to have a "gap" in my cf slot up top but would like my cf card to completely fill the slot, which i believe a CF II card would do.

The drawback to using CF II card though is that most digital cameras only take CF I cards so you wouldn't be able to interswap. This is not a big deal for me though because I would plan on having a separate CF card for my digital camera (don't want to constantly be pulling out and putting back in CF cards in my baby......ummmm i mean axim).

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
