Review on πŸ’ͺ Unleash Industrial Performance with Transcend 1GB CF Card 200X (TS1GCF200I) by Chip Palmer

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Unfit for intended use

I was trying to use this card to replace an IDE hard drive on a Tandy 2500 XL/2. I need an "industrial" CF card because the medium is characterized as a hard disk. The computer will NOT boot when the card is inserted into the IDE to CF adapter. Another card does not cause this problem on this computer (a very old Canon card from the camera). I tried this card on another, newer PC and although it started the computer fine and I was able to run FDISK to partition the card, it resulted in repeated write errors when trying to install DOS 6.22 on the card. I have started the return process. I don't know if the problem is with the specific card I received or with the product in general. I'll try again with a different card.

Pros
  • Transcend Industrial Cf Card 200X 1GB (TS1GCF200I)
Cons
  • Some bugs
