Hi Vic,
I've just set up a 256MB CF card with the ATA driver. After you receive
the registration #, the driver allows you to divide the storage in 4
"stores" with equal amount into each one. If your card is on the list of
supported cards, I don't see why you couldn't do the same with a 512 CF
card. Good Luck!!
