I was recently given one of these: http://www.shop.com/op/~USB1_1_HOST_CF_CARD_FOR_PDA-prod-17889671-25061958?sourceid=298

It is a CF cart that you can attach a USB hard drive to. Since it was, as you can see, not a cheap gift I want to put it to use, maybe on a DS. So:

1) Are there any CF Flash carts this would fit in? Keep in mind it's going to have a cable sticking out the back. I looked at the M3 CF and it looks like it won't do the trick.

2) What happens if I slap a 20GB hard drive on it? Won't the flash cart freak out trying to negotiate that much data?

Somehow I doubt this is gonna be possible, but I thought I'd ask you guys anyway.

it will fit in the supercard cf
the cf card sticks out the front of it so it wont matter about the cable

I believe most slot-2 cards are limited by the FAT filesystem and thus only capable of cards 4gb or smaller in size.

it looks to me as if it will not work as it is not designed to convert usb hard drives to cf
it is designed to add a usb port to a pda using a cf slot
the major difference is that it will not look like a cf drive more of a cf addon, therefore i do not think it will work with any flash card at all

I once saw someone make a homemade thing to connect a harddrive to an actionreplay cf thing.  Not very practical though
