Nicely reasoned, and makes sense.
However, when I was setting up my CF card, I went with what looked like the
most reliable-looking advice I could find at the time and set the Max Transfers value as high as 0x1FE0000. At 256 times more than reasoned above, it seems quite absurd.
The magic is it has worked just fine, and apparently also in some cases where 0x1FE00 hasn't. I would like to know why it works, whether it is just waiting to cause trouble, or if there is any other reason to change it. I was thinking perhaps it is not taking the entire 32-bit value into account, but the less significant word is all zeroes so wouldn't it likely result in a MaxTransfer of 0 then?
