The reason for the speed difference has more to do with the 2 scsi-IDE
adapters I have. The acard is ultra-wide 68 pin (hence the need for
the jackhammer), while the mystery brand adapter is...SCSI 1. The
iici's onboard scsi may be faster than the jackhammer, but my 50 pin
scsi-IDE adapter is dog slow.
All I needed to do for CFbooting was to format it with HD Toolkit

use the ultra wide acard adapter and jackhammer because they're

Really?!?! I have found the exact opposite. Let me see about
getting together some numbers I can share. My experience is that
the onboard SCSI always (at least on the IIfx and my Quadras)
outperforms Jackhammer SCSI (wide) when dealing with non-spinning
drives. If memory serves, the ATTO SE-IV is faster than the
Jackhammer, but not significantly and there was some issue about
bootability... Though the details escape me at the moment.
As to the IIci working with a CF... Perhaps I have a messed up
IIci. It doesn't seem to work with anything apart from a real
spinning hard drive. More investigation is clearly in order.
