As for identing the adapter's pin1, is there a gap between the regular pins and the select pins? can you follow the traces from the CF slot?

Pin to pin from the IDE/ATA connector to the CF is not one to one alignment. There are a few crossed lines here and there between the CF and IDE that the adapter makes for you.

See:



But all the wires are there to make it run as an IDE/ATA device because that is how it was originally designed to do.
