I may have missed the "meat" of this thread.

Do Compact Flash cards with an adapter work in 3600s?  In 7200s?  In 7500s?

I've tried getting some 16Meg compact flash cards and a Sandisk PC Card 
adapter from Best Buy and I couldn't get anything to work.

The full-size PC cards I can always seem to get working, but the compact 
flash I can't.  Are these supported?
