Makes me feel lucky...I bought a CF to IDE convertor and just plugged it into my A4000T. I didn't even think about it, just made sure I matched pin 1 with connector 1.
Okay, I had bad luck with a fool who blew one of CIA chips with a Parnet cable, but the amount of PC / generic stuff I have plugged in, this A4000T has been fine. I'm going to be much more careful from now on.
