Answering my own question... maybe not... I just saw this:- <> Compared to a 68-pin PCMCIA card, a CF card has 50 pins but still <> conforms to ATA specs. It can be easily slipped into a passive 68-pin <> PCMCIA Type II to CF Type I adapter that fully meets PCMCIA <> electrical and mechanical interface specifications. I should have just counted the pins myself! ;-) ************************************************************** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://libretto.basiclink.com/archive - Archives http://www.picante.com/~gtaylor/portable/faq.html - FAQ -------TO UNSUBSCRIBE------- Reply to any of the list messages.
