I have a couple of flash devices : to use as the boot devices - a 16Mb DiskOnModule, and an old 16Mb CF card : with an IDE adapter. These work fine in my test machine, but not in my : target PC - an old Acer P75 system. The test machine is a new SiS630 chipset : mobo, that will be my XTerminal, but what is support like in older systems : for DoM or CFs? Was I just unlucky? Sometimes with older machines you can get it working by specifically setting the geometry in the BIOS. Sometimes, having a slave device makes the IDE adapters work better too, I don't know why.
