The following is a list of guidelines for compatible Compact Flash cards for the R-1:
- TYPE: Compact Flash Type 1
- SIZE: 2GB capacity. Larger cards cannot be formatted.
- QUALITY: Using major brands such as Sandisk, Panasonic, Kingston and Lexar is preferred.
Due to the age of the product, and the fact that CF flash cards are no longer manufactured, we no longer have resources for where to purchase cards and we no longer have any in our warehouse.
An online search should work. For example:
