Do you mean a 256MB SD or 256MB MMC card in the MMC slot? A CF would
have to go in a CF slot, which is rather different than SD and MMC
(which I believe are serial interface, while CF is parallel memory
mapped or ide (it does both)).

I don't know that board at all, but I know a CF slot and an MMC slot
would be very different to write a driver for.
