That looks like it might be USB. Have you tried that?

If your Cornice drive really has that narrow ribbon connector, then there is no way to directly attach it to a PC. There is a version with a different connector and removable flex cable that will interface the same as a CF card, but the version in the picture needs a custom IC to communicate to a PC. This chip was usually integrated into whatever product the drive was used in.

Cornice also had a device used internally at the company that allowed the 3GB drives to be attached via USB, but I'm pretty sure those were never sold to the public.

Sorry I can't help you anymore than this.

That's not USB. If you have a card reader, try that.

edit: Dethska obviously solved your problem, so disregard this.
