Hello everyone,
I'm new to this list, so let me explain where I'm at. I just visited the LinuxBIOS page and noticed it had 810LR (810L now?) support and a nice HOWTO-ish sort of document. I was looking at the type of Disk on Chip to use. In the 810LR document, he says to use an MD-2800-D08, and later says that a MD-2802 will work as it's the newer version of a practically identical chip. I am wondering anyone has gotten the MD-2810-D08 working with LinuxBIOS and if there is any reason it shouldn't?
P.S. the MD-2810 is about $10 cheaper per chip, this is why I am asking if there are any important differences.
MD-2810 is a TSOP - Thin Small Outline Package - which is a surface-mount device, therefore it's electrically identical to MD-2800 but physically it won't fit in your Bios socket....
