Aus, <...Is there any possibility of including a memory reservoir within the housing of the CF slot assembly or is this just another unecessary level of complexity?> CD-ROMs, Harddisks and other storage devices use SRAM as "cache" memory to increase system performance. I believe most Compact Flash products already use small amount of SRAM for buffering. I guess it is possible to include Cache memory in CF or PC Card. SRAM is fairly expensive and maybe this is why it is not used more widely. Derek
