I don't even think that you need an adaptor. I'm pretty sure that CF and IDE have the same pinout anyway.

rosco_pc:
No, although they have almost the same connector (both are 50 pins with the same spacing), they certainly have a different pin-out.

scharkalvin:
The hard drive in the iPod mini does have the same connector as CF cards.
However, the connector on the Toshiba 1.8 hard disk has a different pin out, and a different pitch connector.  There is a one to one signal relationship between the two, no other parts except the connectors are required to make an adapter.

Mad Cow:
Didn't know that. I figured that since they have the same amount of pins and spacing that they're compatible. A CF card fits perfectly in the gigabeat. Assumption is the mother of all screwups. :D
