the above link has the following little device a CF card to IDE adaptor..dual..for use with old pc's as ide drives i gather....(ie ancient like 200meg ide drives)

The Vulcan is -=mostly=- IDE compatible, but not 100% implemented having come from the era when IDE was still a developing standard (back when some brands of drives didn't interoperate with one another).

The Vulcan also has a severely limited drive geometry table - hence, why you can only get 20, 40 megs out of them - the drive geometry is in the card's ROM, and whether you have a standard ROM or a Gold version can make the difference on how big a drive it can support.
