I love the idea since a person can keep three or four drives- one for each operfating system and he doesn't have to mess with dual booting or have one mess up the other. Plus flash drives are so much more shock resistant and much faster, easier to carry around, etc. Compact flash adapters are all over the web and all I've seen are small enough to fit. One of the problems I have with just a CF adapter is that you are pretty much limited to 1 gig for now (unless there are higher capacity out now) . However with a type III adapter you can use CF plus all the type I, II and III cards which go up to 5 gig and they really don't use much more power- maybe 3 times as much as CF if you pick one of the Type II hard drives. A person can get lower power by picking a 2 gig Type III flash card or 1 gig CF (in a Type II adapter card) and gain in shock resistance if they wanted to. I've been looking at the Adtron type III and the specs on that one show the adapter is about 9.6mm high. It can be made thinner.
