[Pc_Support] Does anyone locally sell MicroDrives with either 44-pin ATA or Compact Flash interfaces?

I'm having a heck of a time getting XP Embedded (XPE) built
for my system (which will be Compact Flash) -- I just can't
get the devices figured out so I won't get a STOP: 0x0000007B
error (even using a hard drive).  Eventually I'll get it, but
I really need something immediate until I do.

The system runs 2000/XP no problem -- since the installer
takes care of setting up the devices and registry (yes, I
know, I've run TAP in a full boot to no avail with the
resulting 110+ device .pmq file for XPE).  So I'm thinking of
using a MicroDrive temporarily, since it has much higher
tolerances than any other type of drive -- especially some of
the new models that park the heads if they detect a drop of a
foot or so (and can take 2000G).

So, anyone know of a local reseller who has MicroDrives with
either a 44-pin ATA or Compact Flash interface?  The latter
would be idea (since it plugs right into the board's
ATA-to-CF converter, no cabling/mounting), but ATA would be
fine as well.

All I've seen are USB-type.
