I don't know of any IDE adapter that does that, but the CompactFlash
card itself works like a (brain-dead) IDE device natively.
The CF to PCMCIA adapters are simply wired straight through and do not

If you have two PCMCIA slots in the machine you can run two CF cards
successfully. If you have only one slot then you are, sadly, out of
luck.[1]

No, or at least not with any commonly available technology.
