I'm afraid things are not *that* simple... :-( Based on Fabrizio's report, I bought and tried this adapter: https://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B06XD8ZP1P Sadly, when plugged into the IDE to CF Card adapter (duly configured as a slave and which does cause a genuine CF Card to indeed behave as an IDE slave device when plugged in this adapter), the SDHC+CF card adapter combo behaves like if it is alone on the IDE bus, masking any other device connected to it (in my case, an IDE HD configured as master). I also tried to configure the IDE-CF adapter as master and the DD as slave, but the DD is still not seen on the bus when the SDHC+CF card adapter combo is plugged into the IDE-CF Card adapter. I returned that device today since it's of no use at all to me... If Fabrizio could quote the brand and model of his working SDHC to CF card adapter, it would save us a lot of troubles finding one that works as intended...
