It is compatible with the PW 60A, which has a 5V lead. Not all, but a lot of power supplies have the 5 volt 2 pin connectors.

Thanks for your encouraging answers, I'm considering buying a Barebones kit of a normal PC and I might get one of those adaptors.

The compactflash card specification is fully IDE compatible which allows them to
be used as hard drive replacements for embedded applications.

CF disks offer the benefit of low power consumption, no acoustic noise, cost efficient
and fast read access time.Ideal uses include routers, firewalls and diskless network clients.
I find one professional manufacturer in China which can provide all kinds of good quality and low cost ide to cf adatper .You can logo on the domain:sinech.cn to find you interest .

if you do, buy it from newegg.com

The service is much better than the crap that is the "DSL Store", and prices are much better. As in half-price or less compared to the "DSL Store"

The DSL store sells very small, fanless systems which are not available at newegg. I recommend trying out the fanless barebones system, which is very small, for starters. You would then have the satisfaction of knowing you helped out a with a great distribution's development.
Of course, if you plan on loading it with all kinds of hardware at a later date, then you would be limited by that.
