Charles, You may want to have a look at the site http://www.powerinnumbers.com.au They have CF cards at a reasonable price 1 gig from AU$418 delivered including GST a faster card will cost you AU$480. Both cheaper than the microdrive. I bought a Power card from them and it's faster than the Sandisk I bought with my istD and I also bought an "X drive II" that lets you download CF cards to it without the need of the computer. If you live in Melbourne you can even pick it up from their premises and save on delivery (I did that too). Leon http://www.bluering.org.au http://www.bluering.org.au/leon
