I'm getting conflicting information about Kodak cameras.

For instance, the specs on the DC290 (or any of the Kodak cameras) it just says Removable, ATA-Compatible Compact Flash (20 meg standard). If you go to the Active Buyers Guide:

http://www2.activebuyersguide.com/abg/nav/ShowSpecHandler.cfm?PID=1X2X8X2843 1Xde32&ProdID=11052 )

It lists the Storage Type to be CompactFlash Type II. However, when I called pre-sales support at Kodak one of them tells me they don't know and one of them tells me that NONE of their cameras support Type II. I don't know who to believe. At any rate, it would be nice if I could figure out from the reviews whether or not I can use an IBM Microdrive with the camera being reviewed. Especially since IBM does not seem to keep their compatibility matrix completely updated.

I just got a response from Active Buyers Guide that confirmed that Kodak cameras DO NOT support CompactFlash Type II and that they will be updating their site to reflect this.
