How did your Aztec Monster work out? Mine isn't happy...get the
following error message on several different 9100s:

Error Setting 512/Sector Format sensekey: 05 additional: 26

I've tried the jumper at both "T" and "1", plus I've tried a Transcend
128mb (80X) and SandDisk 1GB CF cards.

I also sometimes get sector errors when attempting to format the CF cards.

Emailed the designer and he said to use a smaller and slower CF (at that
time I only had found a 1GB CF), so I then tried the Transcend 128mb
card (no change).
