cf adapter allows compact flash in PCMCIA slot laptops

You'll want this if you have a cf or compact flash memory card... full PCMCIA bus speed no USB bottleneck. CF-ADAPT Adapter for using Compact Flash in a PC Card/Type II slot

I use this script to mount my card, and copy the files to my desktop and unmount:

I placed the following code in a script file and made it executable as /usr/sbin/readcard.sh
echo Mounting Card!
mount -t vfat /dev/hde1 /mnt/cf
echo Copying files...
cp -v -R /mnt/cf/dcim/ /root/Desktop/
echo Unmounting card!
umount /mnt/cf
echo Done!
