[c-nsp] CompactFlash card compatibility

Chris,
Is it possible that you need the WS-CF-UPG aka CF-ADAPTER-SP for your older SUP.  I think it is included in the newer 720s

I have a 2-week old Sup720-3B running 12.2(33)SXI3 that formats and
can use a Kingston CF/1GB no probs.  My other Sup720-3B is 4 years old
running 12.2(18)SXD3.  It gives me "device not found" when trying to
dir or format the same card.  Don't know if this is a HW or SW
difference.  Newer Sup has 512MB sup-bootflash, older has a mere 64MB.
 Won't be able to empirically test until I take the plunge and do the
IOS update on the Sup that's been up for 4 years :-/  The older Sup
takes SanDisk 256MB CF II card ok so that's enough for today's current
and rollback image needs.

Only Cisco reference I've found seems quited dated and wildly incomplete:
