Neat little thing, but I think I've just broken the wrong pin! Alas, let's not panic, they're not that expensive, will pick up another on ebay, anything I should be looking out for? :)

Yes that's the extra pin. But I meant a pic where that cf-ide adapter would be connected to laptop ide, to see which way to put it...

The thing is, right, that the Dell pc's use these little plastic adaptor 'quick connect' things... and they're what's missing the pin :D So once you've put that adaptor on, you can connect it any way up you like :D I know it's confusing but:

cf adaptor -> quick connect adaptor -> laptop

in normal use...

hdd -> quick connect adaptor -> laptop

Which way round to put the HDD is obvious because of the blanked pin.... but the CF adaptor isn't marked in the same way, so I need to know:

Is the CF adaptor the 'same way up' (ie. top of the CF card facing upwards) as the HDD (top of the HDD, ie. the manufacturers label and not the printed circuit board)

Hehhehe, hope someone knows! I just buggered a CF -> IDE adaptor trying to figure it out by myself.

That's the bad part. No-ine knows as it is different for every adapter..
