Thanks Ben,
But :- 1. Note from my original post that I'm planning to use VFAT, should
this be OK?
2. Can you help with the other question(s)?

OK, I didn't realize that their device had a CF slot option now. It
should work like any other VFS volume -- the big thing is that it
won't be able to handle FAT32, so the largest card you can use is 2GB,
and you'll need to make sure it's formatted using FAT16.
