Yea, but I'd assume that it doesn't have to be a Mac partition map as it 
should be able to read the CF card the way it's formatted out of the box 
or by the camera.  I'd guess that'd be something MS-DOS related.  And I 
don't know if the various Apple II CF card options make use of a 
partition map like that.  Or heck, I don't even know for certain if 
there is a partition map on a CF card.
