Q. How large of a CompactFlash card will the adapter support?

A. Theoretically, any size will work, just as any size IDE hard drive
will work.
    Currently, CompactFlash cards are available on the market in 256 and
512MB sizes.
   We haven't tested those sizes but feel confident that they will work
fine.
