Well, my intent was use it for linux, and there is problem with most solid state cards, that these cant work as bootable disk from second partition where linux root files are.
Sandisk CF 1 GB card which I purchased from eBay
(geez how expensive these low capacity cards are nowadays...
) work flawlessly, I got JLime to run.
My final goal is, learning it on my handhelds, get linux to work on Trimble Nomad PPC, but this is not this site thematic
