If you're looking for quick-n-dirty, you could
always just ignore half of
the capacity and send/receive 8 bits.... With 16 Meg flash cards, that
might be less than optimal, but with the costs of 512M/1G cards where they
are today, it is an option whilst still retaining a decently large amount
of quick storage for an 8-bit machine, with a lot less hardware & coding
to
interface it.
For an IDE interface using a home-grown FS, that is a very valid and often
usd approach. With IDE drives in the 100s of GB, and considering the
application, it's very workable.
For CF, though, as you noted, the loss of sneakernet limits the usefulness.
