I have used a Simple Technology 32 meg CF card with various beta releases
of Paul Guyot's driver. Only beta 11 gave me problems (but in all
fairness, I did fill up the partition almost to the rim, which the faq
states as a clear no-no).
I think I would call his driver anything but very unreliable, but wait for
RC 1 and see for yourself.
