Doubtful, but that statement needs to be qualified. Is there no HD? If so and it's large enough: simply copy the CF cards contents to it and re-copy once you get the new card. If you have a 4-way buffered IDE adapter and the appropriate IDE<>CF card adapters, you could copy stuff over that way(assuming the card was formatted as a HD, but not sure if that's the case with PCMCIA<>CF Cards anymore - I could never get the PrepCard utility to work on my machines). Otherwise, get yourself a CF card reader for your PC! They aren't much these days.
