because they were designed to be cheap before the idea of CF using
DMA seemed realistic.
Some CF adapters I've seen included all necessary pins but the pin
connections for DMA were missing. Someone at a slackware mailing list
was having the same problem, and if I recall correctly (better check
specs though) it can be fixed quite easily:
CF pin 44: disconnect from +V, connect to IDE pin 29.
CF pin 43: connect to IDE pin 21.
