Hey yall,

Does anyone know where they might sell a flash CF memory card in the type II size?
All I've seen are type I.

Just wondering.

The X5, X50, and X50v all accept both Type I and Type II CF cards.

I don't like how there is a open space in the slot with a Type I card. I've gotten dust and lint in there on my X5. I would like to use a Type II, but haven't been able to locate a vender or manufacturer.

Any ideas?

As far as I know the only really type II cards are the microdrives. Anything else would be old and not have very much memory. So, search for microdrive if you are really gungho about getting a Type II. Just remember the microdrives are fragile and use up a bunch more power then the solid CF Cards.

only MDs and Extra things like wifi are type II

although some cf mem cards are type II, they are type I form factor
(like some of the kingston typeII ultra CF cards)

My Type II CF card is made by simpletech. I got it a couple of years ago from newegg.com.

grentz-the difference between Type I and Type II CF cards is the form factor. Type II cards are wider than Type I cards.
