Phil's input pretty much follows my experience with CF cards.

I was referring to using 'linux expert' to start the installer which 
will allow devices which should recognize and allow installation on 
devices which do not show when using the default installer start method.
I tried this for USB hard disks so figured it might work for other 
devices also.

With Phil's posting, removable drive may rely on the controller in the 
cards. I don't really know.

Alan's question and suggestion might lead somewhere. Hit an miss it 
seems to be with those devices.
