Question about Compact Flash Type I & Type II

[saber800]

I just got a PDA (has a Type II Compact Flash slot) and I wanted to add a compact flash card. I went to the crucial memory configuration and they recommend a Type I compact flash for the PDA.

My Question is: Will a Type I Compact Flash work in a Type II slot and do I need an adapter to convert from Type I to Type II?

Type I will work in Type II. Type II WON'T work in Type I.

You can buy either type, since yours is a type II connector. Also, check your manual, because typically, any Type II slot can accept an IBM Microdrive.

And that's just f*cking sweet.

Not a problem. Peace!
