I agree with leirbag28!
If you can get an IDE port you can find on eBay much CF to IDE adapters. I personnaly have one 44pin CF to IDE adapter inside my A600 as a slave device (Yes it has a jumper on it for Master-Slave configuration).
I use it very much for transfering big files from my laptop's CF writer while mounting my CF (Amiga Formated) card in UAE!
It runs very well as it was a Hard Disk but faster!
The only problem is the read/write cycle life so I recommend it only for file transfer and not OS installation and booting.
