I know it is a wiki (but it's on the internet so it must be true)...

Apparently the CF must present itself as a fixed disk to work (as
opposed to being a removable device).

Qisk is on it it's last legs.
I have obtained over the last couple of months an new SCSI drive
enclosure, a SCSI to IDE converter, an IDE to CF adaptor and a 1GB CF
Card.
I put this lot together, plugged it in to my Plus (well you gotta
try :-) booted from floppy and tried to run drive set up. No dice, No
supported SCSI device detected.
I would start by getting the SCSI => IDE adapter to work with a
regular old IDE drive on your Mac Plus. Once you've got that
working, switch out the IDE drive for the CF adapter. That way
you're only rasslin' one alligator at a time.
I have also seen reports that the brand of CF card you use may matter.
