1. This is bad idea - use flash cards for swap or more modern os (like all
windows). I had experience with 16 TF cards, which die after 1 year (rewrite
limit). All 16 cards work in non-overloaded machines.
2. Use last generation of motherboard for Pentium-1 (as minimum) with VIA
Apollo chipset (designed for Pentium and Amd K6/K6-2) - only this chipset
understand ATA100 native and allow connect CF via simple IDE-CF reductor (intel
VX/HX - NO). As i understand, problem is - no support ATA100 in older
IDE-controllers. In other case, you need use PCI-IDE cards or special modern
ISA-IDE controllers (designed specially for use with CF).
