	Depending on your IOS version, it may make a difference, as well as
the monlib on the CF.  Make sure you format the devices in the router to
insure there are limited/no problems.

	We have 1G CF cards working fine.  In recent IOS versions you ca obtain
detailed flash information.  I recommend SanDisk.  I've not tested over 1G CF
cards, but running with SXF and SXH we seem to have no issue.

	If someone from TAC wants to try to counterpost that a "unsupported"
CF card will violate our warranty or any other garbage like that, Please
notify me when the PMs decide to ship sufficently sized CF to support
the devices to provide core dumps for developers.
