IDE to CompactFlash Adaptor

Well, think about it. Enclosures like that exist for PCMCIA, and PCMCIA adapters exist and are cheap ($40-ish). Thus it probably wouldn't be too hard to pull off, although I don't know about drivers.

You don't necessarily need a PCMCIA adapter, you can use USB, on devices like Casio's E200 and Toshiba e7xx series that have usb host (with the pack). You can just plug an external usb hard drive and use Deje's USB Mass Storage Driver from:
with the arrival of the compactflash card with usb host, more pocket pcs would have acess to this method, of hooking up desktop hard drives on our Pocket PCs.

Sure, but they use JFFS (IIRC), which does automatic wear-leveling on the CF - "PC" file systems don't. Also I'd imaging the "swap" is tiny/non-existent and/or in RAM, not on the CF. Having a file system on there is fine, even with writing (you're good for about a million writes, IIRC).. it's just using it for paging/swap is a killer - those million writes come and go in a very short space of time.

Damian:

is correct. It's probably, geekily, worth noting that TV screens generally don't have an in-built degauss circuit, so don't wander near them with magnets (though if the damage isn't too bad then turning them off and on a lot does slowly degauss them... but it's bad for the tube). I speak from experience - I "destroyed" a colour TV as a kid by placing a large car-speaker onto the screen while it was on and admiring the pretty colours.
