If I remember correctly I had an  IDE2CF device that used to work^tm with Pentium (2/3?) and VIA chipsets , circa 1998-1999, I do remember it had a via chipset because it was locking down during heatup, I'm not sure about the cpu.

I do remember that there are several types of IDE2CF  I had to replace until I found one that worked for me , and that not all media could be used there with the IDE2CF.

(*) I remember I had to change several different ide2cf because they had been failing (Probably was using Red Hat Linux at the time, but I'm not sure).
