For what it's worth, the Sandisk CF/PCMCIA adapter cost me $13 at the
local Best Buy.  It seems a lot faster than leaving the CF card in my
camera and using the USB interface to read the card.  Plus, it doesn't
wear out the camera's batteries.

On my system, the CF card's recognised as hde, so I just put this in
/etc/fstab:

/dev/hde1               /mnt/pcmcia             auto    noauto,users 0 0

... and mount/unmount the card with Nautilus when i need to.
