The CF will not work just like RAM instead it works just like a 8-bit
harddisk
by using memory mapped I/O. Every 512 byte sector must be selected first.
But when selected and available it will be as fast as RAM an can be loaded
with a single LDIR
instruction or in any other way you like. It's also possible to execute code
from it directly.
 But only in a linair way.

I hope your not to disapointed now.
