There are also CF to SD adapters (I've been seeing them in my trolling on

There has been a lot of activity recently among
the Apple II/IIgs crowd
about using the combination of a cheap SCSI to IDE bridge and an IDE to CF
adapter to use Compact Flash memory cards in their computers.
My big concern with CF is that it might be sunsetted in the near
future. SD in its various incarnations seems to be gaining on CF and
I wonder if we'll be bidding for the last bit of "NOS" CF in a few
years. High-speed serial interfaces seem to be the way of the
future.
I haven't seen any CF cards with write cycle life
ratings in the
millions yet. Maybe I lead an isolated existence.
Neither have I, but I haven't researched it much. What's the write-cycle
endurance of a SD card?
