Follow up on CF to IDE adapters on UMPCs
Addonics is selling this nice CF to IDE adapter, similar to the one I use. Frank reminded us about it today..
As it may look nice way to make diy SSD for your umpc, you should know that you can't use cheaper CF cards made for cameras with it. You need more expensive cards made for OS use. So using these adapters can be actually way more expensive than commercial SSD drives, specially if you need the same amount of storage.
This dual adapter has both master and slave slot, so you could use "OS capable" flash on master and cheaper cards for files on slave.
