If they didn't wire the CF slot for DMA (as sometimes happens, and the
idea of CF cards with DMA was considered ludicrous not many years ago)
then you'll need to be very very good with a fine soldering iron 8)

I am good with one, but not that good. And I know some engineers around
here who are about 10 times better than I am. But still not good enough
for that kind of job, I think. So, OK.
But then I wonder why the DMA can be and was enabled in the BIOS and, one
might surmise, DMA was used to access the Sandisk SDP3B-16 -- which is
not hooked up to the CF slot at all, and which _is_ blacklisted. Strange.
Thanks, I guess that there is not much more to do with this one except to
get everything else to work.
