Writing into a compactflash card

I am trying to write into a compactflash card using a 16f877, but have not been successful, can somebody tell me how can i write a C source code to read the buffer size in the compactflash card and how to fill up the buffer before it sends the data into the compactflash memory.
Many thanks

Check out:

His project only needs reads, but it looks like he has pretty complete code (in CCS) to access a CF using FAT. Don't know if you need PC compatibility, but if not, his lower level stuff provide a good start.

I haven't tried the code or looked at it in detail.

If you know C and are willing to get a new compiler, www.tern.com has boards with compact flash and software examples ready to use.
