It works for non-boot devices.  But for non-boot devices, you can also
use atacontrol.  However, for a development box, I'd get a CF adapater
that groks DMA.  If you are using an CF to PCMCIA adapter, then the
problem is something else.  We usually see timeouts on CF cards that
have been static zapped in that case...
