CompactFlash Association with CompactFlash Specification Revision 2.1

       
The new ATA Flash memory cards from SanDisk and in some cases from other manufacturers too now support DMA (Direct Memory Access) in True IDE-Modus to the new CFA Specification 2.1.

Under modern operating systems, this feature assumes that the memory card is able to exchange DMA signals with the host computer. This was previously not possible for products where ATA Flash cards were operated in True IDE mode.

We can provide you with two solutions:

1) All altec products listed on this page are available in a DMA-enabled version. This is indicated by an additional «D» at the end of the item number.

2) For the new SanDisk cards which will be used under the above conditions, we provide a service to disable the DMA feature.
