Usually I buy some very simple interfaces (Compact Flashes are designed
to  be phisically compatibles with IDE interface. The last in a flea
market in an exibition in Germany for no more the 15 Euros each - brand new.
You can find many resellers looking on BigG for 'Compact Flash IDE
Adaptor' .
Remember that in this adaptors there are no more than 2 connectors, 1
Printed Circuit Board and a piece of cable, sometimes a jumper to select
if master or slave. You can wire on your own but I'm discouraged by the
fragility of the CF connector.
Do not use USB-CF adaptors, unless you know that your PC BIOS supports
booting from USB and you use an initrd with usb AND SCSI modules (I've
some machines working so - but is not simple to find old PC with BIOS
with support for boot from USB DISK).
