I just tested my IDE CompactFlash reader with a 128MB card. The "...with the attendant speed of a hard
drive" statement is incorrect. I dragged and dropped a 6 file group, totaling 3.2 MB, onto the
CompactFlash drive. It took about 11 seconds to do the copy. It only took 2 seconds to delete the
whole group. Well, it seemed fast.
