It's not too hard to find PCMCIA adapters for compact flash
cards that make them look like IDE disks, but what I found
(see the archives) was a family of adapters that make a compact
flash card emulate an IDE disk, complete with IDE connector,
or a complete IDE bus with one disk on it, and that plugs straight
into a motherboard IDE connector.  So far they have just worked
for booting my terminal and main cpu server.  We've just moved,
so as I set up machines again, more boot disks will get replaced
by compact flash cards, especially in the file servers.
