 yyep, that's the one!  it's actually PCMCIA - CAM cards are
pin-compatible and electronically compatible with PCMCIA then they do
this weird flip-over thing... i think.  in case you're not aware of
it, PCMCIA is actually... get this... it's the old IBM AT/XT bus!!
isn't that hilarious?  CompactFlash is just an 8-bit version of the
same thing, and *both* are *directly* pin-compatible with IDE drives!

 which is why you can get a CF-to-2.5in IDE adapter from e.g.
hwtools.net.  or, i did 10 years ago, anyway.
