Oh I am sorry, that should read CF+ CARD and not adapter... In general, certainly some cards will not work with the adapters (for example Lexar cards) as this happens on PCs as well... Unfortunately complete testing of ALL the cards with the entire range of available QL hardware is not only impossible it is also extremely expensive and that's why I rely on users for more information. If you do not manage to use the card I will have to add them up on the page as a precaution... So far we know the following: Cards that work: (Plain cards non CF+) Verbatim, SanDisk PQI (Ritek) Hitachi Kodak Lexar (non USB enabled) Iomega IBM/Iomega Microdrives Fuji Pentax (Hitachi) Cards that do not work All USB-Enabled (CF+) Lexar cards
