I think you can use the extant data cable in the iPod, I'm not sure, I'd look at some iPod takeapart guides to be sure. > I've not > had need to use CF cards recently (that may change, even without > considering > the iPod, as field recorders lean more towards that storage > solution), so > have not paid much attention.
