Same as IDE, just a mechanical issue to convert the wiring to IDE connector
and add power. There are a number available, here's one:
http://www.pcengines.com/cflash.htm.
The current code (maybe changed recently don't know) uses a rough time delay
for spin up that needs to be tinkered with.
Boots pretty quickly with CF, but, as Linux boots, "Calibrating CPU..."
takes a lot of time (several seconds). Anyone know if this is necessary?
