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.
