I got tired of my 8MB CF cards, and I remembered that I have a PCMCIA -> MMC/SD converter sitting on a shelf somewhere (bought it for my girlfriend to put MP3s on the mem card of her phone).
Both MMC and SD cards are detected and run fine.
Only thing is, that someone decided to put a CardBus sized "insert protector" on the left side of the PCMCIA connector, it wouldn't fit in the A1200's PCMCIA slot. I just shaved off the thick slip of plastic and it works just fine. Aren't standards great, especially when people don't care about them. ;-)
BTW, high capacity CF cards are sometimes very expensive compared to CF/SD cards.
Oh, and I split the CF thread into two, since the CFIDE problems are totally different to the CF->PCMCIA problems. (actually, there are no problems with PCMCIA adapters ;-)
