Re: CF to SD adapters

[<jscottkasten%yahoo.com@localhost>]

I for one would be interested to know if this SD-CF unit works well under 
NetBSD.  High capacity SD is much easier to find, and usually cheaper than high 
capacity CF.

The pervasiveness of SD slots on newer devices does make this a win-win 
solution as there is no need to carry around an extra module just to move files 
between devices.
