The DoC has no interrupt line, so all operations to it are polled. This basically makes the rest of the system suffer while you access the DoC. >- There is so much magic involved that I don't even dare to create > a fresh flash filesystem.

This is more of an issue with devices as small as the DoC. I have a contract right now to update the DoC driver to the OSAK-4.1 kit from M-sys, which should amongst other things make it possible to run on the 288MB devices, but I don't have an actual release-note which can tell me if any bugs are fixed. If any of you want to help test the new version: send me email. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 phk@FreeBSD.ORG | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
