Here is what I found.

IDE to compactflash module. $20
http://peripherals.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?site=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.acard.com%2F
IDE to SCSI converters. I got quoted $70 for one.
http://www.ramjet.com/compactflash.asp
128mg $69.
So that's $159 + shipping.

Anyone got any spare change? ;-)

Since a Compact Flash card basically uses an IDE interface, you could cobble together 
a working, but expensive, solution by
combining a CF card with a SCSI-IDE converter. Existing drivers would probably 
suffice, but if not, it shouldn't be too hard for
someone with decent code writing skills (that disqualifies me) to bang one out...

I agree with you that it would be a kick to have one of these in a Plus! No noise!
