The original card bought on e-bay for 0,67 euro (about 1$ ?) ...
search for "IDE ATA to CF Compact Flash Internal Memory Card Reader"

Embed the card low and fix it up with one screw

Connect the IDE cable to CFFA (IMPORTANT: pin 1 is at the top of the
board)

It works!!!


Thank you to Richard Dreher for the CFFA.

I am not responsible for any damage to your GS or CFFA, expressed or
implied, simply because this is a DIY tutorial.  USE THIS TUTORIAL AT
YOUR OWN RISK!

Be careful: the CF is not hot swappable
