My thoughts too. I'm still learning the ins and outs of udev, but if they
kept any sort of consistency you may find the CFFA formatted CF card as one
of the scsi devices. eg "/dev/sda" if you are using an USB reader. If you
have it plugged in using a CF->IDE adaptor it would be "/dev/hdb" or
whatever the controller/position you have it plugged in is.
Unfortunately I think if you try to access the actual USB device entry the
result may be just a little bit too raw.
Like I said though, I'll try to help with this when I'm more able. Not even
owning a CF card let alone a CFFA card currently makes it pretty much
impossible for me to do much.

I would like to help out with this issue though, as I think that it should
be equally possile for everyone to do what they want with their Apple.
