I suspect you are right about them never being produced. With the bottom having dropped out of the memory card market in the last 18 months I'm not surprised that the market is becoming saturated. However, I also suspect that high performance camera owners are going to continue to look for better high speed products to keep up with their hardware. The test results on Rob Galbraith's website were quite eye opening for me! @ Stephen: I was unable to find 8GB SanDisk Ultra II Plus cards anywhere online (though I did find a mention of them in a SanDisk press release).

I'm also noticing that the Sandisk SD Ultra II Plus [USB] cards are running out of stock everywhere very quickly. They are no longer listed as a products on Sandisk's website.

It used type III PCMCIA cards, which are twice as thick and long as a CF card is. The largest card we had was a 105MB card. I don't remember exactly how much it cost, but I think it was around $700 (the camera was 1.3 mega pixels and cost c. $20k) at the time. Some one on the staff dropped the card and it was ruined.
