No offense taken, I just though I would mention it.Ah, ok – apologies if I offended you – none was intended!

As @stj mentioned a pci-express card would work. Like this:

no, pci-express is exactly that,
the older cardbus was a mini version of the isa slot.
I've now got four of the five working – seems they prefer to be formatted when connected by IDE/PCMCIA/ATAPI.Two explanations:
. You have a fake card
. The disk format on the CF is incorrect.
If you use gcfi it will verify that the disk format is correct.
I'm a bit useless at this...Just run: gcfi it will tell you if the format of the card is correct.
on c drive, same place as the gcfi applicationWhere is your starseek.bin file stored ?
You need to be admin to run gcfi as well!Working from c:\ is probably not a good idea and you will need for sure administrator rights to do anything there.
Yeah, I noticed that after I posted.Does the message actually say: "unable to issue control code to drive: d"

What did you use to read the CF IDs?Thanks for this tool. I've been able to successfully burn a CF - it's taken some time to wait for parts to read the Key ID, but we've gotten there in the end
From my current CF's that I've got, I think one is not compatible, I do exactly the same process with the same cards and get a successful write, but one loads fine and one just gives me a black screen

I'm wondering if anybody has tried a micro SD to CF adapter? micro SD cards seem waaay cheaper than CF cards down here in AU
