1.7.3 Capacity Specifications
The capacity specifications for the SDP5A
FlashDisk are different from the capacity
specifications of the CompactFlash Memory Card.
The tables below show the capacity specifications
of the SDP5A FlashDisk and the CompactFlash
Memory Card.
Note: SanDisk defines a megabyte as one million
bytes.

1.7.4 Voltage Sense Signal -VS1
The Voltage Sense Signal -VS1, pin 43, of the
CompactFlash Memory Card is grounded because
the Card Information Structure (CIS) can be read
at 3.3 volts. In the earlier SDP5A FlashDisk, this
pin is not grounded because the SDP5A FlashDisk
CIS can only be read at 5 volts.
Note: In some early platforms, the -VS1 pin (pin 43) is
also the Refresh pin for DRAM cards. Plugging
the CompactFlash Memory Card into a platform
supporting the Refresh pin will hang the bus.
1.7.5 True IDE Mode
The CompactFlash Memory Card differs from the
SDP5A FlashDisk in that it can be configured in
True IDE Mode. See section 4.6 True IDE Mode I/O
Transfer Function.
