has it been debated somewhere on eab? i'm not english native so i'm not sure of what you mean by cloding...so far i've been using sandisk 4gb without any problem..going through eab forums you will find what are the interface/cf cards working...the things i would suggest you to focus on to improve compatibility : sandisk are very good (avoid clones, i had one it was a total mess: r/w errors all over the place), the lower cf buffer the better (ideally you want the 128kbytes buffer - that's what i found with old sandisk 4gb cf), you have to set your hdtoolbox maxtransfer field to this size (1fe00) for all partitions created.
PS : also i had some issues with jst old installs not working ...i think this is because jst relies on workbench loading routines bugged (worked with regular hd but not cf??)...the way i solved it is by adding systempatch tool in my startup-sequence (a fix for a lot of os 3.0/3.1 known bugs)
