I have a great idea, but I need a part..

Does anyone know of an adapter, plug or cable that fits into a CF card socket? I'm thinking of an SSD adapter for a Ki Pro Mini.

(Not something a CF card plugs into, but something that plugs into a cf card slot.)

The idea is a new one but if anyone could pull it off it would be the Addonics people. Here's a link...

Give 'em a call.

As a KiPro user I was also thinking of something similar. There are loads of IDE (40) to CF adaptors around and I was looking at starting with something like this:

...and then adapting?

@PaulReam, I think you're idea will work with a shorter, more protected cable. You might have to then convert from IDE to sata. Its also a little exposed.

I was thinking along these lines for CF connection out:

Then an enclosure some thing like this with full USB connectors and ethernet, since ethernet locks on:

Addonics says they don't have anything like that.
