Buffered CompactFlash card for RC2014, female header version

Overview
Want something easier to solder, or just prefer the CompactFlash socket to be above the other RC2014 boards? This variant of rc-cfcard uses a female IDE header (and IDE-to-CF adapter) instead of a directly-mounted CF socket. It is otherwise the same as the primary design; refer to the main project for anything not covered here.
Part selection
Bill Of Materials and part references are below. The LED and its resistor can be considered optional, since IDE-to-CF adapters usually have an activity LED of their own. Said adapter can be sourced from eBay - the board is designed for this style of adapter:

Questions
How big is the Rc cfcardh PCB?
It measures 99.1 × 49.9 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Rc cfcardh use?
17 parts, built around the 74HC245D, 74AHCT138D and 74HCT32D. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the Rc cfcardh KiCad files?
From the PickledDog/rc-cfcard repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is rc-cfcardh/rc-cfcardh.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Rc cfcardh design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the Apache-2.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
