[j-nsp] PCMCIA Adapter for M7i router

[Tammy A. Wisdom]

Yeah the only CF cards i've ever gotten to work in an adapter were some kingston cards removed from an old lefthand networks san at work unfortunately they were 256mb :(
Transcend's industrial CF cards do work very well as the CF internal disk in a m7i with a RE-400-768 as well.
