| How about this one then:

|
| Same as before, except opposite connector.
Shouldn't the one with the opposite connector come from
subractonics.com?
Maybe that's a good alternate name for DealExtreme.com. They have a
lot of inexpensive stuff. Mailed from Hong Kong (can easily take two
weeks). Uneven quality. Fun!

This says nothing about DMA.
One comment suggest that this one is built better:

A comment claims slow transfers with this, but a reply points out that
"no processing is performed by the adapter".
What is needed for DMA? Is it at all a function of the adaptor? DX
makes a point of mentioning it in describing this adaptor (which isn't
the right gender anyway):

DX also has SD to IDE adaptors. That is a less-trivial operation and
so they are more expensive. I imagine that a fast SD is slower than a
fast CF. SD is a lot cheaper than CF.
I happened to throw in these with my last DX order but haven't even
opened the wrapper on them. So I don't know if they are any good:

The silk-screening on 711 mentions DMA.
