That's not too bad.

That would be better. I haven't hit ePay because I don't want to
get nibbled up by $3-$6 each in shipping. It's cheaper to wait
for a sale on 16MB cards at the corner store. I'm interested in
getting a stack of flash cards in one go, for one shipping amount.
Anything else gets too expensive to justify.

I've not seen anything that cheap. The TAPR one is about as cheap as
it gets.
I got a few 3.5" 40-pin-connector w/hard-disk-style molex power connector
for about that (a woman wrote me to offer them to me because she saw me
discussing them on some webified mailing list somewhere), but they are
PCMCIA, not CF, so you'd need an adapter, plus they take up lots more
room than the TAPR units.

I have never seen thru-hole CF adapters, only SMT. Doesn't mean there
aren't any; I've just never seen any.
