I just notices that I had a down time between now and around 10am this morning so if you bumped your head on my door, try again and it should be up and running...

Ok, I know this is not really in sync with "listserv etiquette", but I am a reseller of CompactFlash adapters and peripherals that are pretty interesting. You can see some on my site at www.net-forces.com
For those who wants details or pricing, e-mail me privately at courchea@net-forces.com
Again sorry for the intrusion, but I wanted to share the info.

I too am am running the Imagemate (SDDR-31) USB -> CF adapter. It is great for development and debugging. Used it many times when porting linux to the Ipaq! My only frustration is that i am unable to boot of it. Once the kernel is loaded i can mount the CF card and make it the root filesystem, but that is about it.
What i am aiming to do is completely eliminate the harddrive in my machine. And swapping out the card is not something i will be doing regularly. I just want a reliable and inexpensive solution that gets the job done.

On a side note something I find _really_ hand when working with CF devices is my PCMCIA card for my Desktop and a CF to PCMCIA adapter. Lets me hot plug the CF in and out of my desktop. Very handy for copying images onto the CF during the debug cycle.
Another alternative to this is a USB CF reader - I'm using the Sandisk Imagemate to mount my CF cards & copy images, etc.
