CF talks in ATA protocol, so just order simple pass-thru plate ($20) which will allow you to connect CF to IDE cable and that's it.. On Thu, 1 May 2003 tcc_linuxbios@thinkthink.com wrote:
The reason I'm interested in linuxbios is that I'd like to create aself-contained (not remote booted) no-moving-parts system for ruggetized use.
I'd be open to a better idea - but so far I'm thinking of puttingan OpenBSD fs on a pcmcia ATA flash card and access it through one of those PCI<->pcmcia cards. This should make for a neat off-the-shelf system for firewalls, gateways, etc. Most bios's don't support pcmcia because most mb's don't have pcmcia hw... Therefore my linuxbios interest. Has anyone considered putting in PCMCIA support? A grep of sources and mail archive comes up blank, except for booting off of CF. CF would work but I suspect I have to buy a special (read expensive) mb that has CF support.
Am I getting myself into a project? :) tom.c
