The CF slot hooks to the IDE bus directly. I believe the other slots
use the internal USB 1.1 bus which is much, much slower. You probably
_can_ swap to any of them, but CF would give the best performance.

You could put some setup code into /etc/rc.local.  It might also be
possible to make the card look enough like an art pack that it
automatically runs some setup code on the card itself.
