Brad, I have a Vulcan set up this way, and the best I could get to
work is a 20 MB CF card, a Sandisk. It was a SOB to get it formatted
and once I did, that's how it must stay. Read from it, write to it,
but I'm definitely not even going to attempt another formatting. If
I were you, I'd abandon the idea and go for something else.

Now, the Focus may work, but I haven't tried it, and I've never seen
a Primus at all. So far, the best bets are the Microdrive and CFFA.
