Exactly. I use it with a 64MB CF card and it works almost perfectly well,
though it seems to be slower than linear flash cards.
The only problems I have with RC5 are:
- I cannot fetch my mails with SimpleMail when the default store is on an
ATA card. (It just aborts, without any error message.)
- Deleting large packages can make the system unresponsive for a few
minutes.
Nevertheless it's a great software. Thanks, Paul!

I use SBM Utilities for backups.
I configured it to make a backup of the internal store to my CF card every
night. Then, I only need to backup the CF card on my PC.
Regards,
Gert
