i have a 1GB Kingston CFC as well but if i remember properly mine is made in Taiwan and not Japan.

Btw i did not had to format my card as of yet.

Sorry can not help

I have tried an old PSION 16MB card I had laying around and still no luck , so it maybe the usb card write, or the sc unit itself, both my cards were formatted as FAT.

I have also tried a second 1GB Kingston card (Japan) as well, still no luck

give the card a label in windows, i.e. FLASH and do not quick format

Check if CF card is I or II type. The II type doesnt work with SC. And maybe if your card is a model with an increased transfer speed instead of standard one - this may B the reason of your problems.

card is type I, no indication that it has increased transfer speed on any of the packaging, thanks for the info, still no joy

I have tried a normal format (not quick), and applied a short label such as CF1 for volume, still no joy

After trying three different CF I'd have no doubt the SC is faulty.
You should check where you bought it for a change.
