It's not really a "reader" but an adaptor. The CF interface is a small 
version of PCMCIA Type-II. So the adaptor just adjusts the pinout. Then 
the CF card is seen as a IDE disk when insterted.


When the camera I got as a gift wasn't supported (still isn't either) in 
linux, I bough a PCMCIA kit for my desktop and a CF->PCMCIA adaptor. 
That was 3+ years ago, and it's still working great. Too bad the camera 
is so out of date (640x480 :( ) and newer cameras aren't using CF as 
much now.
