Same as IDE, just a mechanical issue to convert the wiring to IDE connector
and add power.  There are a number available, here's one:

The current code (maybe changed recently don't know) uses a rough time delay
for spin up that needs to be tinkered with.

Boots pretty quickly with CF, but, as Linux boots, "Calibrating CPU..."
takes a lot of time (several seconds).  Anyone know if this is necessary?
