Damn! sold my 4GB card quite recently because I could not get the *istD to recognise it. Pentax support said there should be no problems so I thought it was one if these Hitachi OEM drives that were disabled for camera users.

LBA is good for you, a Lens a day helps you work, rest and play.

With the new version it also won't work!
Some OEM-Drives have a special FW. The CF-Protokol is not implemented. They run only in ATA-Mode.

Thanks for the info Linus, will keep that in mind, probably stick just to CF cards in the future.
