I'll try to do it myself (tomorrow). :-) The biggest problem I had was that the IDE-FD18-20 is a 2.5" form factor, just like the drive in a notebook. I was connecting it to a a regular IDE bus and needed to get a 2.5" IDE to 3.5" connection kit. There is *no* mention that you need this in the documentation... I presume you have the DiskOnChip eval board? Bear in mind that the eval board is really intended for development of systems that use the DiskOnChip -- this requires a 30-pin DiskOnChip socket on the motherboard and BIOS support. Boards that support DiskOnChip generally make it appear like an IDE drive from within the BIOS... Generic systems requiring flash should really opt for something like M-Systems flash ATA cards or the IDE-FD13 or IDE-FD18 series... -marc -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Hippocampus OSD, Inc.
