there's always epay;). this guy seems to have quite a few 4mb cards-
the smallest sizes I've seen for about 2-4$US. You might be able
to get a qty price. I have no connection to this seller.

Now if I could only get a nice cheap (<10$) cf to IDE adapter-
the kind that plugs piggyback style right onto the motherboard
40 pin IDE header. I've seen may source including the TAPR-
but they tend to range from 25$-75$US. If I could source some
cheap ($<5) through hole CF right angle connectors, it would be
worth it to lay out a cheap double side pcb of a few sq inches/
