Option 11c and PCMCIA card compatability

[MechDriver]

I am trying to find out what brand and size of PCMCIA card will work in our 11's. My company is willing to buy some but I am having a hard time finding any info on what will work. Is there a compatability chart somewhere? I have tried searching Nortel and came up empty. My next step will be to call Nortel but I'm not sure they will want to give me any info since they would prefer to sell me "their's" with markup.

I use Sandisk 128Mb and I have used Sandisk 64Mb.

Thanks, I've got a Sandisk 64 as well but our purchasing dept. is telling me they can't find a vendor for sandisk. Perhaps not in our price range! Anyone using a different vendor with success?

I buy mine on Ebay. You can use Compact disk with a PCMCIA adaparter, thats what i'm using on my test system and it works great.

As above, I bought one off ebay just to give it a go, a SanDisk PCMCIA adaptor and an Integral 128mb CF card, very cheap and works fine.

I went through this a few years ago. Was using LEXAR 64MB with intermittent problems. Approached Nortel at Global Connect and was told that only SanDisk had been tested and that it was the only brand supported.
When I got back I bought and replaced the intermittent units with SanDisk and have not had a problem since.
