And yes, the CF to IDE adapter is the best thing ever. You are limited to 4GB (plenty) with OS 3.0.
SD to IDE adapter is even better. SD cards are more reliable with Amiga. Also OS 3.0 does not limit the card to 4 GB, however it requires patched scsi.device and capable filesystem.
I use SD to IDE adapter as the main drive and cascaded PCMCIA to CF with CF to SD adapters for data exchange.
