Compact Flash question

[SpongeBob]

Does anyone know if a Compact Flash Type 1 card will work in a Type 2 slot?

I have a Casio BE-300(pseudo-pocket-pc) and it has a type 2 slot, but I can't find type 2 cards anywhere for a reasonable price.

Thanks!

You need an adapter like this.

I'm sorry, I should have clarified more. Not a pcmcia type 2 slot. A compact flash type 2 slot. They look about the same, but the type 2 cards are about 1 mil thicker and are supposed to allow for larger capacities.

Get up there!

Still lookin' for an answer...

I'm not guaranteeing that this is gospel, because I'm too tired to look it up, but a CF2 slot should accept a CF1 card no problem. I know my camera has a CF2 slot, and all I use are CF1 cards. The only CF2 cards that I'm aware of are the IBM microdrives. Anyone else know? Anyways, consider this a long bump

Confirmed. You CAN use CF Type I in CF Type II slots; however, not vice versa.
