A datasheet for Transcend CF220I industrial Compact Flash card which says: "True IDE Mode supports Ultra DMA Mode 0 to 5 (Ultra DMA mode 5 must supply with 3.3V)"
CompactFlash cards can be configured to use Fixed Disk mode, as this is defined by the CompactFlash specification. However, SanDisk does not support its implementation with our consumer or professional-level cards, as it is outside of the scope of their intended use. Thus, all of our consumer and professional cards are shipped, by default, in Removable mode.
