I found this adapter: http://www.artmix.com/CF_powermon.html but it's too expensive and it's overseas. I haven't found anything else otherwise. An IDE to CF + IDE to SCSI adapter could be another solution, but that would add up too and it's much less elegant. If someone knows who makes this card maybe it can be found for less elsewhere.
