This only works with some CF cards. I have 3 of them, and it works with one (a Ritek 512mb card). The other two (Sandisk 256mb, Viking 128mb) are very slightly thicker and don't drop out. You can make a little tail on the cards with a loop of scotch tape. This will fold up out of the way when you close the CF door and makes it a lot easier to remove the card. alex
