CF to SD adaptor?

---

Hi,

Is there a adaptor that converts a CF card, so that it can fit into a SD slot?

If not, why?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=7538
a thread about it

a possible reason why not is that i believe CF are faster

another reason is if there is no demand nobody will develop anything

another reason is that SD are small and CF are big so an adaptor would break easy

SD cards have a 4-bit data path while CF are 8, 16, or 32.

SD sucks ass. I can't believe we're having this foisted on us for the sake of a few millimeters.

but you could make a converter which would take in the bigger bit sized and split them but that too would cost speed and if timing was a big thing for the cf card in question it may even time out thinking that the sd card converters slowing down was due to an error

You "could" make a converter to turn dog turds into petrol, but what would be the cost? Who would buy it? How many people want it.

My point is that it's not as easy as say a CF to PCMCIA adapter, or even PCMCIA to SD. Plus very few people would be interested in having an SD to CF adapter.

may be it is what you are meant but there is another gadget

this is good for people with devices that have cf slot and cant use SDHC cards, but cf to sd not such a good idea
