Well i found a 128mb CF CARD and still no luck. Upon careful inspection it appears the last pin has been bent by previous ownership, i took the unit apart but there are too many soldered fine connections to make it worth a repair especially for the modest investment. Will keep it for parts since these are not as much in abundance as Nikons and Canons

Wow, sorry to hear it's a genuine fault as these original *istD cameras are a treasure and not often coming available. Ii it possible you could access the bent pin with some fine tweezers to straighten it?

All I want is a digital back for my trusty K1000 . . .
