For early prototyping with a CF card, I took some tiny gauge wire solid
core (I think 28 Gauge, maybe 26. I can look later tonight if you like),
striped one end and directly inserted it into the compact flash card. The
other end I crimped into a high density d-sub male pin to connect to a
solderless breadboard. (The female high density pins are great for
tapping into IDC connectors.)

I havn't finished writing the code for my own CF project (Just started a
few days ago and don't really have anything to feed the data stream to
yet) and I'm using the memory mode interface rather than IDE mode.
