I've commented on Manabu Sakai and his CF card solution before:
Ruffled Feathers
Money Back Guarantee
No Performance Guarantee
And if memory serves me correctly, I wrote other things too on this site, prior to the hard drive crash. Specifically, I had so many problems with him over email concerning that CF card product that I decided to telephone him, since I speak Japanese. His mother (he lives with her) answered the phone and refused to put him on the line because he apparently told her not to! It was at that point in time I threw up my hands and gave up. The man is far too eccentric for me to deal with. But if one of you out there can massage Manabu Sakai in the right way, perhaps you can get the answers you seek. In the end though, you may just have to buy the item, not knowing completely what you will get, and hope for the best.
