[j-nsp] Will CF sizes other than 256M work ok?

[info at beprojects.com]

I don't know about that, but I've been trying to get some 256M SanDisk 
CF cards for several weeks and it seems everybody is sold out and on a 
long term backorder.  I ended up googling and finding them at 
http://www.memorysuppliers.com/ and they were pretty cheap too.  If you 
can't find them local, you might try them (I am in no way affiliated 
with them, I just purchased four cards from them earlier in the week and 
  they actually had them in stock and shipped the same day, which is a 
lot more than I can say for buy.com and amazon.com).
