[Coco] cloud 9 SuperIDE with CF

[John T Chasteen]

Frank
Did you have to add a connector to your LINUX box  
 to be able to connect the CF unit?  I have PC with XP that is
only 10 months old and I can't see any connectors that looks
compatable for a CF unit. my hp notebook is a dv9010us.

Cloud9 told me about a solution but I don't understand
the details yet. 

I need to read the Cloud9 doc for SuperIDE and get more
familiar with the hardware.

Thank for any help you offer

John
