Ray - I'm pretty sure you know more about this stuff than I do but I think it's a moot point, isn't it?

The CF standard enforces that all cards have an ATA controller on board. All this card is doing is acting as a pin-reference and adapter from CF to IDE, the same 50 pins, just from small to large. The ability to use two cards on a single adapter would likely mean that the card is using cable-select to force the cards into a Master/Slave arrangement.

Anyone ever use one of these? I'm wondering how an adapter and a cheap CF memory card would perform (speed wise) compared to a laptop hard drive. The drive I'd like to replace is an "old" "slow" 6GB drive so I'm guessing that this would be faster but I don't have a clue.
