I am using a 512MB compact flash card divided into 4 partitions with no
problems. I am still working on getting my Kinston 5GB card to work.

Subject: Re: [NTLK] Newbie ?s on Storage Cards
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!!
