I see hope buy offers a kit with the sandisk type 2 1Gb flash card.  
Can I assume that this means they work.  
I remember reading earlier that the type 2 cards were not compatable.
If the type 2 are compatable Newegg.com has the
KINGSTON 1GB Elite Pro for a great price for the next couple of weeks.

From the official SuperCard website:
Quote
- Question:  What type of CF card support?

- Answer:  Type I Card; Size: 42.8*36.4*3.3 mm; Capacity: 16 M- 1 G; Format: FAT formatted only.

So, in a nutshell, the SuperCard only supports Type I CF cards, and does not support Type II CF cards.

BTW, I don't see a package on HopeBuy that includes a Type II CF card.  If you're under the impression that the Sandisk Ultra II CF cards are Type II CF cards, they are not:  that is just the model.  I, personally, use a 1 GB Sandisk Ultra II CF card (purchased from NewEgg about 6 months ago for $60 shipped :o) in my SuperCard, and have had no problems.
