Hi,

I'm preparing to build a m0n0wall system on an old PC with a CF to IDE adapter I got on eBay, I see that those adapter have a jumper to select between 3.3V and 5V to power the compact flash card, what voltage should I select ?

Here's a link to the CF to IDE adapter : http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=270211152405
Here's a link to the CF flash I will use : http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=270212863830

Thanks!

I think I found my answer.

Dual Voltage Support?

CompactFlash cards support both 3.3V and 5V operation and can be interchanged between 3.3V and 5V systems. This means that any CF card can operate at either voltage. Other small form factor flash cards may be available to operate at 3.3V or 5V, but any single card can operate at only one of the voltages

Can anyone confirm please ?

Thanks
