The ide<->cf adaptor is about 3 bucks, got 2 of them here, one in an old 
k6-III equipt box is running dd-wrt for a firewall.  No hard drive or floppy 
in the box, nothing but 3 nics.  Best kept secret in router/firewalls ever & 
a good use for an old slow obsolete box.

Go and look for me, the ip is 72.65.70.103, I'm curious to see if you can see 
me.
