How about one of these:

http://www.addonics.com/products/flash_memory_reader/ad44midecf.asp

Then you just buy whatever size CF card you want for almost no money.
Since that adapter supports DMA, a UDMA capable flash card would be
quite fast (I have some here that can easily max out the IDE bus on
reads with 32MB/s.)
