RE: off topic: CF -> IDE Where and which to buy?

[Courchesne, Andre]

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

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.
