Hey! I thought the Vulcan was an ST506 interface. But the CP3104 is an
IDE (ATA) drive.

So I am guessing from your message that the Vulcan's requirement is
for an IDE drive that supports 8-bit transfer mode (which was deleted
from practically all drives - the last vendor I know of to support it
was Conner Peripherals in fact).

FYI, it is a requirement of the CompactFlash specification that all CF
cards must support 8-bit mode. So you should be able to drop in any
size of CF card by using a simple passive adapter like this one:
