I haven't tried it yet but I got a compact flash adapter at CompUSA
for $8. The brand is Antec but I wouldn't think brand is as much of
an issue for this kind of technology. There was a CompUSA brand
adapter for $15. It was styled a bit nicer and had some kind of
storage case.
I'll give the cheaper one a try and report to the list.
