  Yes. There are some gotchas with newer pcmcia/cardbus flash cards.
For instance, Silicon Systems devices claim to support IORDY, but don't,
which results in a system hang.  I imagine that the same kind of things
will show up in newer CF devices, although I think that CF can't support
DMA.
  It also depends upon how you interface CF: via an IDE controller, or
via a cardbus interface.

  I expect to have a git tree with stuff available soon.
