Title: Is my CF CARD working for ML
Post by: plixploc on June 28, 2015, 10:46:31 AM

Hey guys,

Thanks for your great work on magic lantern!

I've got a 7D and it's time to work with ML.

But I can't copy the ML files into my CF card. I've followed the guide but each time the CF reader is ejected before finishing the copy.

Yesterday someone told me it's because of my CF Card specifications.

So here is my question :

A Sandisk extreme UDMA 60MB/s is compatible with ML or not ?

Thanks very much for your answer

I never heard about incompatible CF cards and the problem you are describing is not ML related.
Use h2testw or F3 to test card's integrity and get a decent cardreader. I use Kingston FCR-HS3. Others will do as well. See http://www.cameramemoryspeed.com/reviews/card-readers/
Maybe your cardreader just needs a firmware update, if any.
