Hello,

Specific to CF cards for 6500 supervisors: where I work we've often had
worse luck with "Cisco certified" PC Card ATA FLASH compared to just
buying something generic (at or under 1GB for Supervisor2) and just
using that.

I couldn't speak towards linear FLASH; I don't even know if it comes in
the PC Card form factor.  All of our Sup2s have ROMMON 7.1(1) on them.
