Well not CF the other flavor, smartmedia. I believe it looks the same
as CF would to the kernel though (a wdc/wd pair).
I'm not really using the adaptor to transfer pictures though. Even
though the serial line takes 8 minutes (at 115k) it doesn't hang my
kernel for the first 45 seconds like the adaptor does. ;-) That is
worth more. I'll save the adaptor for when I'm hiking and need to
conserve the camera's batteries.
