Well, I went ahead and ordered the card from Newegg. Got it today and completed the conversion this evening. Gotta say -- I love it! Boot time is amazingly fast. Navigation is pretty much instantaneous. I am currently copying over my ~20GB of music I had on there previously. This will take some time I can see. But I don't mind. I expect that once the music is loaded on the CF card, it should work great.
I did the same as SteeleHere above did and electrical taped the CF card to the adapter so it wouldn't come loose. I also took a section of the bubble wrap the adapter came wrapped in and folded it over and taped it up to make a bit of padding, which I placed at the end of the CF card to fill the void where the old HD was. So I doubt it will work free from the IDE connector in the player. Oh, and I also put a strip of electrical tape on the bottom of the adapter to ensure the contacts that are exposed there could not touch anything on the mainboard in my player.
Overall, a very simple mod really. Now currently enjoying my new H132!
