No, XT IDE isn't compatible with 16 bit IDE.

CF interface actually is 99% IDE...
But The card permits 8-bit accesses if the user issues a Set Feature Command to put the device in 8-bit mode.
As Tahoe hinted, this seems to be some exotic CF mode that most probably isn't compatible with XT IDE either. There's noone there issueing that command anyway.
