compact flash I, II and ultra

Hi people.
I learned the difference between compact flash I and II, but I still don't
understand the meaning of "compact flash ultra".
Is it another name of the compact flash II?
Thank you for your replies.

Ultra refers to the speed of the card.
It will be Compact flash Type I card with a fast access time.

Type II will generally be an IBM Microdrive rotating hard drive, 5.0mm vs. 3.3(?)mm thick, also fast writing/reading once spun up, but more a powerhog than a solid state memory based card.

Ultra (etc.) is just premium, faster (hopefully) version of CF card.
