All known CF cards work at 3.3V internally. The interesting thing is
what the

Many cards let it run at full supply_voltage. They will usually work.
Some cards run it at their generated 3.3V as well, and fail on A1200.
Thats it.

I saw a CF card adapter that allows you to connect either 5 volts or 3.3 volts on the board with jumpers to select between the two and a mini plug for the 3.3 v. I wonder if you supply the 3.3 volts if the card would work properly. I assume you would have to make sure the 5 volts from the amiga is not going into the card.
PS> I decided to order one just so I can experiment with it. I have a LEXAR 128 mb compact flash card that seems to have problems working consistently and this might solve the issue.
Here is a link to the card adapter

I wish there was a PCMCIA solution because the lexar refuses to work with a PCMCIA adapter.
Maybe someone can experiment with these:

Maybe even figure out a way to get the Card bus cards to work with those. It would solve the power situation if you can power the cards externally, save your PSU from wear and tear.
Or imagine building a 2 port PCMCIA adapter out of it to switch between the ethernet card and the compact flash...Too bad it is probably expensive to get a hold of these to play with. Looks like the sensoray site only lets you purchase after a $500 account is opened with them.
