Product Details
New, Adapter Only 30 Days Warranty
IDE to CF card reader adapter, single
This adapter allows you to use a single CompactFlash card and have it be recognized as an IDE device. Perfect for storing data for embedded operating systems, or using as a spare scratch drive.
Features:
40 pin IDE standard Port
Support CompactFlash cards (Type I & II) or a IBM Microdrive
Transparent to the operating system and does not require any drivers
The CF card can be the primary boot device containing the OS and application.
IDE standard can NOT support the hot-plug of Compact Flash
Does anybody know if this has a counterpart that can turn it into a floppy or rear-card mountable board? I'd like to use it such that I can insert a CF card from a 3.5" floppy bay or through the rear as if it was a card. Great price, and another neat device!

Does this CF can be used in Linux perating System

Yes, we have had customers use it successfully on Linux. It seems some CompactFlash will automatically work with this device. You will need to turn DMA off and it is best to use slower speed CompactFlash (CF) cards.

How to boot with this card in linux. Two things need to be done: 1) In the bios, turn off DMA for the hard drive connected to the flash card. Just click on the IDE connected to the flash and in the detailed view, set DMA to "OFF". Different bios setups are done differently. 2) To boot Linux, go to the /boot/grub/grub.conf file and add to the end of the kernel line the following command: ide=nodma This will tell the bios and linux not to query this device for DMA capabilities and the boot will continue properly.

They're passive adapters. they don't involve any fancy circuitry that can be skimped on, just rearranging wires. So it would be pretty hard to mess them up.

I'm using them as a permanent replacement for rescue/install CD's in my rackmount Linux boxes. So far they work great.

Just to let you know, the IDE-CF Card & Hitachi 4GB Microdrive combined with a IDE-SCSI Bridge (ACard AEC-7720UW) Works incredible as a hard drive replacement in my Digital Samplers!!! I own an EMU ESI-2000 and Akai S5000 Sampler and all is well!
