Super, thanks for sharing those details! I'll look into getting a decent compact flash card, possibly a Sandisk "Ultra II" as they seem to be selling quite cheaply on eBay at the moment (about £10 including shipping for a 2GB). The Sandisks certainly seem to be the most widely available from what I can see, though I'll look out for other similar cards from different manufacturers as well.
It would be very good to have a silent 1400.
