I wasn't thinking of connecting a CF card to the old computer's floppy controller. I was rather thinking of connecting a CF card to the old computer's IDE controller, in parallel to the existing IDE disk, to get the contents of that computer's hard drive: i.e., copy from hda to hdb where hdb is actually a CF card.
