Seems the problem is it's a 1.8Vcard, which is not standard (standard appears to be 5V or 3.3V). It will not work, period, in a CF<->IDE converter, or in a PCMCIA<->CF converter. It works fine, however, in *some* USB card readers, namely the cheapo ones off ebay, but not the expensive ones I bought at the local office supply store. I suspect that is the problem, at least it was for me.
