The workaround is to disable it in the BIOS, once you get the adapter. It's a passive device; if you had a female 6 pin mini DIN and a male 5 pin DIN you'd be able to knock up a quick temporary fix.

A good option may be an IDE-CF adapter - they are cheap as chips (I grabbed a couple from the NZ vintage computing Facebook group for NZ$5 each). Dead network security appliances (such as the Netgear UTM series) can be a good source of smallish CF cards.
