[c-nsp] CF cards in 3825?

[Tom Storey]

I grabbed the 256mb Sandisk Ultra II CF card out of my Canon DSLR and stuck
it in a 2801 and it picked it up fine, I can even browse my images (just
cant view them). Does IOS have a JPEG to ASCII converter? :-)

I also tested my 1gb Ultra II Sandisk and it was fine aswell.

Ive also tested the 256mb card in an 1801 and it was fine there too. Havnt
had the chance to get my hands on a 3800 series yet.

However, I do get the following message when the router boots up, which
doesnt happen with a "Cisco" CF card:

amd_flash_cmd(): timeout on erase sector command
environment write to NVRAM failed

Other than that it seems to work 100% fine. I get the feeling that the only
special thing about the Cisco cards is they are available in smaller sizes
than what you could buy at a retail store. Who buys 32mb CF cards these days
for a camera? I wouldnt take that as "there is no difference" though, as per
the output above, there may very well be, but I guess its not a big enough
difference that any regular CF card wont work outright.

Cheers,
Tom
