The 2MB and 4MB doesn't correspond to megabytes, unfortunately, and from my
understanding those cards are bank-switched, which means you can't access
the full 256k or 512k range without manually toggling a switch.  Heh, you
might want to look up and see if anyone's ever done a CF to Maple adapter
:P.
