My test showed me that a 16mb lexar CF card did not work when it was the
only installed cf card. When using this card as a second card, it worked
like a charm.

That is what I was telling.
The code executed will probably be the bootsector of the card, which
contains pc-code. Same problem occurs when booting from a diskette which was
formatted on a pc.
