I tried a IDE<->CF adapter in my A500. It works, and that's actually
how I ended up imaging my harddrive. I used tsgui to create the HD

I had several problems with mounting the card directly within WINUAE. I
think the DataFlyer IDE controller swaps bytes, so all of my dd's needed
conv=swab as an option when imaging. Then the byte-swapped images would
mount under winuae correctly.
It definitely isn't convenient to use with this limitation. This may be
different from A2000/A1200 controller.

I've got the harddrive imaged, so there's
no fear of losing data.
Which is even easier, if all your data is on a memory stick ?
I've got my 2000 and 1200 on CF ide adapters. It's fast, quiet, and works
great. You can also pull it out and plug it into your desktop and use
WinUAE to format and set up the OS, copy files over.
