[NTLK] ATA and Sandisk again

Some people on the list have had success with Sandisk CF cards and adapters.

I'm not so lucky. I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong, or if my
config is causing problems. I have tried any number of Sandisk CF cards (all
I have access to right now), and they all give me one of 3 errors depending
on which slot I put them in.

In the left PC card slot, I get a -10059 error when the card is inserted,
regardless of whether the prefs slip is open or not.

In the right slot, I get a "this card is write protected" or a "this card is
unrecognized" error.

Paul has told me that the card is not compatible yet, so I should take it at
that, but my hopes are up based on reports of other Sandisk cards working.

It seems like this may have something to do with a soup entry that is making
the card appear unusable when it might be after all.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Blair
