Not sure but since cf cards fit into (I think) dumb pcmcia adapters, they must appear to tye world as ide drives! SD cards otog have fewer pins than cf cards and must have some sort of multiplexing scheme. I can't wait for a super card with 2 or 3 rugged electrical contacts and a high density array of IR leds. Boy will that be fast!
