I've got horizontal dropouts, don't know if with a half link you can "fine tune" enough to run any gear with vertical dropouts, I doubt it, but it should help a bit. And its a cheap method.
I've found (in the only two instances I've tried) that a half link + a little bit of dropout filing will get the job done.
