Has anybody tried something like this on an old machine using CHS mode?

I'm replacing a dead Connor hard drive in an L40SX. This seems to be a much simpler way to do it than what I did last time, which involved using a Disk On Module and a custom cable. For the price of the custom cable I can use an SD card, which might not be as robust as the Disk on Module but it will be more than adequate for a vintage machine.
Compact Flash is also a possibility. In both cases I'm worried about if the machine will be able to recognize and boot from it. (The BIOS might be trying to use CHS mode, so maybe only a Disk On Module will work.)
