[DuoList] CF to IDE adapters, and the 2300c

[Keegan van der Laag]

In light of my recent hard drive troubles, someone has brought about a 
thought: CompactFlash to 44-pin IDE adapters are commonplace now, and I 
have a plethora of 1-4GB CF cards that aren't doing anything. Has anyone 
tried this in a 2300c? The benefits would be numerous. It would reduce 
weight, make the Duo almost silent, probably reduce power consumption, 
and make the system more resilient to shock, since flash is solid-state.

My only concern, of course, is that the drive controller might not be 
okay with the adapter. Has anyone tried this? Any insight? I mean, these 
adapters are $1 with free shipping on fleaBay, so I'm probably going to 
give it a shot anyways, but if someone knows a particular brand or model 
that work, it would be good to have it documented somewhere.
