Not all of the above manufacturers offer CompactFlash cards recognized to
UL standards, which may be required for your application.
Although RLC products limit use of CompactFlash card memory to 2 GB,
cards with a larger capacity can be used. They MUST be formatted to 2
GB and use the FAT 16 file system. It is recommended to format the CF
card using the format utility from within Crimson.
