If the interface is CF, which is just IDE, then I suppose it's possible to 
just hook an IDE hard disk up instead. Maybe :-)

(I've often wondered if I can do this with my digital camera, and the camera 
will automagically know how much storage it has - but I presume that because 
the camera uses a FAT filesystem it'll get upset around the 500MB mark and 
probably not recognise anything beyond that)
