I was told that it should work OK, if someone provides a bit of glue
code.  Basically it uses the IDE driver and runs the CF in "true IDE"
mode ... in my schematics, sheet 28 suggests that most of the setup
can more or less be done at board init time by tweaking existing code:

 - power up the CF slot (talk to the msp430)
 - take the CF out of reset (U35 GPIOs)
 - select CF instead of ATA (U35 GPIOs again)

You could presumably get fancy and make it act like a CF-only PCMCIA
slot, using the card detect logic to do whatever is needed.  Once it
works in "true IDE" mode, that is.
