Adssse, the 44 pin adapter is made to plug directly into a laptop hard drive slot. The 40 pin model plugs into a standard ide hard drive cable. I now have both. My hard drive died in this laptop that I am presently using and I am running a frugal install on a 512 mb CF partitioned with 60 mb for hda1 and the balance for hda2. I have mydsl, backup/restore, and opt on hda2. The laptop is maxed out at 256 mb of ram so I am not using the toram option because I found out the hard way that it is easy to use up your ram and crash the system with only 256mb.
I am also using a similar setup on small mini ITX type system and use the 40 pin model on this system. So far both systems work great as long as I do not try running too many apps at once since I have no swap in either system.
