Subject: 32MB SanDisk and Siemens OEM Reader Oppurtunity

[Alan Dayley]

Looks to me like it uses a floppy disk type power connector but it actually 
attaches to the IDE bus, not the floppy cable.  This conclustion based on:
-40 pins on the connector
-Floppy drives are not "Master, Slave or Cable select"
-CF cards have an ATA (IDE) interface and there is no live circuits on the 
board to translate the CF ATA to floppy protocol.

Looks like a cool board.
