I just found these :
CF Hard Drive Adapter

Quote:
This family of unique CF-IDE Hard Drive Adapters is designed to enable one or two Compact Flash (CFI/II) media to be used as direct replacement for the 2.5" IDE hard drive. As a result, any equipment, such as Notebook computer, that uses a 2.5" IDE hard drive can be easily converted to use the low power and shock resistant CF media. Once installed, the CF appears as an ordinary hard drive to any OS and can be configured as a boot device. The Dual CF-IDE Hard Drive Adapter contains a second CF slot for the slave position of the IDE channel, allowing increased storage capacity with the same low power consumption and solid state benefits of the CF card.

Startech CompactFlash Card Reader to IDE Adapter

The first one is my favorite. For 22 bucks I can use flash memory to setup a master and/or slave hard drive setup. I actually have a circa 1995 486 notebook PC that is still working, so I could have DOS installed on (CF flash based) hard drive(s). Therefore, NO issue with hard drive failure.
