It has tempted me to rip my real White Album to Click

could fit the Iomega PCMCIA card into a 3.5" PCMCIA-IDE adapter frame
and mount _that_ in a 3.5"-5.25" adapter frame, then mount *that* in
my Apex DVD/CD player in place of the IDE DVD-ROM drive.
A long way for a gag, but I think it would work.
I really enjoy this sort of silliness. It's in line with my "how much can I
cram into this case" fetish. I've been seriously eyeing those ide to scsi
adapters for the Macs I have. Then you could CF->ide->scsi. Those CF ide
adapters also have me thinking about those promise IDE raid controllers.
One of them I know can stripe across four drives. Four CF cards in that
configuration would be fun to create, and fast. Although you'd probably run
into other performance barriers first, like the speed of the PCI bus.
