    CF slot, and with a Type II PCMCIA adapter can be used in any system that has a PCMCIA Type II or Type III socket. CompactFlash Memory cards use SanDisk Flash memory, which was designed by SanDisk specifically for use in mass storage applications. In addition to the mass storage-specific flash memory chips, CompactFlash Memory cards include an on-card intelligent controller that provides a high level interface to the host computer.

    1.7.5 Automatic Sleep Mode A unique feature of the SanDisk CompactFlash Memory Card is automatic entrance and exit from sleep mode. Upon completion of a command, the card will enter sleep mode to conserve power if no further commands are received within 5 msec. The host does not have to take any action for this to occur.
