USB to CF connectors are very iffy with m0n0. I tried to get this to 
work. Spent about 10 days on it and finally gave up. Just got a batch of 
CF-to-IDE connectors  last night and they seem to be fine.

PS The batch came in from China and cost about $7 each (inc shipping + 
customs duty). They seem to retail for $20, but I couldn't find any 
locally.
