Hi,

"I think you're much better off with an adapter for compact flash. That's
  an open, widely used standard which has worked well for us."
Can you explain this a bit, does it mean that its possible to
some how redirect the rom from which the PC boots ? i.e. switch
it to a CF adapter card ?

Thanks
