You don't *have* to use a Disc On Chip. If you have an extra PLCC flash to play with, you could get LinuxBIOS up and running on the Epia and boot linux off of a hard drive or ide flash disk (compact flash with an ide adaptor perhaps). See the mailing list archives for Richard Smith's FAQ to learn more. - Adam Agnew

Hi.
Where could I find a DIP2PLCC adapter ? I'm trying to learn LinuxBIOS but I found out that the motherboard I'm trying to get running (VIA Epia 800 fanless) has a socketed PLCC chip. I checked out on the M-Systems web site and they just have DIP32 packages of DoChips (Millenium). These should be compatible 1:1 with the PLCC version, right? All I need is an adapter right?
