Where can I get some cheap CF cards either 256MB or 512MB that are compatible with MR-8?

Thanks,
Ben
 
Somewhere on this forum is a very extensive thread, including a list of those tried and true CF cards, by members of this forum.
Scroll to the bottom and search for CF compatibility, or something like that.

There's a lot of info on that thread...
 
cards

i used the info from that thread, and searched for the same cards on ebay, ther are some deals, but be carefull ive heard of some companies shipping cards under a certain name, then when you get the card it is made by a different manufacturer

I bought this Toshiba 512 card from XtremeGear and they sent me a Sandisk 512mb. The reciept even says Toshiba 512mb. Take my word for it, the Sandisk 512 is a negative in the MR-8!!Called them up and they said that they are out of the Toshiba, and not getting anymore in. Gave me another # to call to get an RMA. It is beginning to become a pain in the A@#!! Not expecting my money back at this point, but we'll see. Ve cautious with Xtreme Gear.com.

Anyway, I just bought a Transcend 512MB 30X for about $140 including 2nd day air shipping. Several people in this forum have confirmed the Transcend 512 30x, and I have compared the read/write speeds to some of the other cards (Simpletech, Lexar etc.) and the Transcend seems to blow them away. I'll update everyone on my experience with the Transcend once I test it out.....

B/w the 2 cards, I could have bought the super expensive Hagiwara and been done w/ it. Everyone may want to take that into consideration.

By the way, I think the Toshiba THNCFxxxMBA that is listed on the Fostex MR-8 confirmed CF list, has been discontinued. The only thing I could find was the Toshiba THNCFxxxMMA. So be careful. Does anyone know if this other particular Toshiba works.

I hope this is helpful to someone, b/c I am learning the hard way....This is a guessing game!!
 
WOW!

Hey ED,

I do hope you get your money back, I would just tell them that they shoould have let you know the product was discontinued instead of sending you a generic.

Thanks for your help
 
Mine worked OK. It was trader75 who got the Sandisk card that did not work.

His experience raises doubts about this source for cards.
