Yes, you can connect both devices. Please note that one of the devices should be configured as ATA Master, and the other – as ATA Slave. For ATA drives this configuration can be done on the drive itself, but for CompactFlash/Microdrive devices, the respective jumper is JP2 (CompactFlash is ATA Master if the JP2 is closed).
