Simpletech cards USED to be the best for the Repeater, but they can't keep 
a
steady suppply of the "fast" controllers, so now apparently it's hit or
miss. I use an older (2 year old?) Simpletech 128mb card that works fine.

There is some info about the CFC controller speed problem on the old
Electrix forum. Go here, and choose the "Repeater" forum:

Set the date to "show topics from last year" and track the info on CFC's.
There is a post from June stating that Simpletech 256mb cards from
newegg.com work, but I don't know if the current stock qualifies.

Best thing to do (IMO) is get a Simpletech card from a local retailer like
Office Max or something, so you can return it if it doesn't work, and try
somewhere else.
