So I guess that won't work in a CF slot then

You can just pop it out and plug it into a cf reader, all though you have to make sure yours will address a 4gb card.

There's no such thing as a reader that will or won't work with a specific size card: CompactFlash is basically a kind of IDE (distant relative, really). Any size limitations would be on the part of the device trying to read/write from the card. Rest assured, a Mac can deal with a 4GB drive!
