I'm not sure if this is germane to your problem, but keep in mind that CF
cards are primarily designed for photography where write speeds are
everything and read speeds are at the back of the bus. As an owner of the
somewhat infamous Electrix Repeater (a muscian's '90's vintage 4 track
'looper' which does pitch-shifting and tempo shifting on the fly), I can
attest that all cards are not created equal. The Repeater has long been
discontinued but even now, the only CF cards that work reliably are those
with an Hitachi S6 controller which allows them to write *and* read at the
same speed. The Hitachi controller is long obsolete and the existing
Pretech cards are fetching big bucks. It's surprising, but even new, much
faster (write speed) cards don't work with it, and of course being a
vintage piece, it can't deal with HC cards at all.
