New 3,5" Disk Drive

I want to install NetBSD on my HP Jornada 680. For this, I need to transfer some bootstrapping stuff onto the Windows CE partition. For this, I need a working copy of Microsoft Windows on my Desktop PC. However, I do only use *BSD and Linux. And I don't want to mess around with my girlfriends Windows Laptop. So I need a card reader for my Desktop PC which can read and write Compact Flash Type I cards.

I've ordered myself the Scythe YD-8V08-BK. It can handle old school 3,5" Disks (good for BIOS and CPU microcode upgrades) and also 16 (!!) different types of memory cards (including, of course, CF Type I).
