I regularly use Compact Flash SanDisk Ultra II and Extreme III in DMA 
mode. The problems i found in the past was not with the compact flashs, 
but with ide/cf adapters. I have many bulk adapters with name "CFDISK 
IDE/CompactFlash adapter" from PC Engines GmbH. With revision 1D i can't 
get DMA works, with rev. 1E instead works very well and fast. On the 
board, visually, there are no differences.
