Yep, that's the right one. In fact, I don't think you can do anything wrong. I got a 256MBit card back when they were still new and only came with parallel port writers, that really sucks transfer speed wise. So judging from that you're really well-off with anything USB ;)
I use one, it works fine. The only problem is that the built-in clock chip isn't very accurate, it looses about 15 minutes everyday, so you can't trust it. But then again, I bought one of the first batch devices. May be this was addressed since then.

I picked one of these up about a month ago and it works perfectly! I haven't even had any issues with the clock, so apparently it's been addressed. Awesome addition to a GBA!

you can put A LOT of nes games on there, I'd go as far to say like 80 games, NES roms are so small.
I have the same flash card that you are about to purchase. It's my second one. It's much better than the F2A line of cards because the drivers are easier to get going and the interface is a lot better with the writing program.
One question - why not pay the extra 40 bucks for the 512 card instead of the 256?8

To distinguish it from the 256 mb model. :roll:
Just joking with you. It's the same thing just bigger and better. :D

The "docking station" is the actual flash writer which connects to the PC. Don't know if the 256MBit one connects directly via USB.

I have the Ezflash II Powerstar and I recommend it. It works great. Pay the extra and get the 512 though so you'll have plenty of room. Oh, and by the way, if you only put nes roms on it you should be able to put a couple of hundred or more.
