Post by: David S on June 17, 2009, 02:44:35 pm: Cheers Dave, but last time I bought a CF card on fleabay it was f**cked. I reckon it was a bad copy so I don't buy stuff like that any more other than from a main dealer. And you just can't get low capacity CF cards anymore hence the request. In fact I was told that the smallest CF any manucaturer is making now is 2gb.

I've been given a couple of 64mb ones since I stuck this post up :). So any 32mb, 64mb, 128mb, 256 mb card are welcome. Most people just bin cards this size but I can recycle them.

Post by: David S on June 17, 2009, 02:56:26 pm: No, but good idea, they are for something where I only need to take 4 small jpegs on each card so 2gig is a tad overkill. I only need 4 more and then that should do it.

Post by: David S on June 17, 2009, 03:50:02 pm: Tried Harrisons Dave but nothing doing. Looks like I'll have to order some from tinterweb. The ones you pointed me at Mr Line are out of stock.
I'll have a google later, just thought somebody may have some odds 'n ends kicking around in exchange for a pint.

Post by: David S on June 17, 2009, 04:33:53 pm: No worries. It's funny but it's nearly as cheap to buy 1gb cards than the smaller ones that most people throw away.
