There's nothing much in the way of translation going on over the interface, as I understand it, the PCMCIA (& therefore CF) interface is pretty much the same as IDE. |

| 696539 | 2008-08-12 23:51:00 | I wonder where you are supposed to put the thing? I see 2 screw holes but it looks like you'd only be able to attach it to something like motherboard mounts | Agent_24 (57) | ||
| 696540 | 2008-08-13 05:58:00 | Probably could let it just dangle as it is so small. | Ron Bakker (356) | ||
| 696541 | 2008-08-13 06:14:00 | Too likely to short out against something though | Agent_24 (57) | ||
| 696542 | 2008-08-13 19:56:00 | Some kinda rubbery sleeve should work. I don't think it would produce that much heat. | Ron Bakker (356) | ||
