The [CF to IDE adaptor] showed up, unfortunately it didn't match the
picture. Have contacted the seller, we'll see what they say.

The one that was sent still needs an IDE cable, whereas I was expecting
one that could slot straight into the IDE plug on the motherboard. I
don't mind that much, we'll see what they've got to say though.

The USB to Compact Flash adapter also arrived, at least it works.
