[c-nsp] source for "supported" 3rd party CF for sup-720

A number of years ago, there were a couple of threads about use of 3rd 
party CF cards in Sup-7203bxl.  I know that I was able to use 1gb and 2gb 
cards without issue, 4gb cards had cosmetic (integer overflow) issues in 
displaying size / free space.  A that time, someone responded that some 
cards in the 1-2gb range didn't work, and the theory was they were too new 
a type (higher speed) of card and were unrecognized as CF by the sup.

I now have a need for a handful of CFs for some Sup-7203bxl's, and <=2gb 
CF aren't as common as they were several years ago.  I'd like to order 
half a dozen or so, but I'd hate to end up with a stack of cards "too new" 
for the Sup-7203bxl and have them fail to be usable.

Has anyone shopped for these recently, and can suggest a brand / model 
that's still offered, reasonably priced, and can be formatted and used to 
boot a Sup720-3bxl?
