Re: ID this card

CF cards just use the standard ATA interface, there are a half-dozen or so cards that implement that on the Apple II already.

Unfortunately not. Only CF *memory* cards support a "true IDE mode" that is ATA-compatible. All other cards use the PC-card IO- and/or Memory-Mode, which is close to the PCMCIA (PC-card) standard.

In "true IDE mode" you have three adress lines and two chip selects to address the ATA task file. Easily mapped into the /DEVSEL area. The PC-card modes use 11 address and 16 data lines.
