While looking for *small* Compact Flash cards (for a blind friend's
BrailleNote), I got pointed at this website.
The CF-to-IDE adapters look *very* useful both for dedicated systems
and for old boxes that don't like modern "huge" hard drives.

Next time I have to mess with my old 486 box that I use for Fidonet &
uucp, I may stick one of these in it. For that matter, I have an old
486 handheld that has a 40 meg HD. If it can take one of the mobile
adapters, I can stick in a 64, or 128 meg card instead. And probably
use less power.
