Compact Flash Connector

The IDE2CF adapters are cost effective and easy to use adapters for connecting CompactFlash cards to the standard IDE port of your system. The adapters are build up in PC/104 form factor for an easy mechanical fastening. An optional stackthrough PC/104 connector for installing additional PC/104 cards is available. The adapters are electrically linked to the IDE port via standard IDE cable either, over the 44- pin 2 mm pitch or, the 40-pin 2.54 mm pitch header. The IDE2CF adapter has 1 CompactFlash slot, fitting type I and II cards. So on the adapter any CompactFlash Storage Card can be used.

With the IDE2CF adapter the storage cards are used like IDE hard disks, they are not hot plug capable. If you require hot plugging support, use the PCCARD Module of MPL AG.
