Hi, does any of you know of hardware that can be used to boot a standard desktop system from a compactflash module ? The idea is to replace the (unreliable and small) floppies in the various picobsd boxes we have around. Most compactflash readers i have seen hook to the parallel port, plus i have no idea on how to program them. On the other hand, when i read advertisement of compactflash devices, they say things like "ATA compatible" which makes me think there must be a relatively simple way to emulate a disk with them... thanks luigi -----------------------------------+------------------------------------- Luigi RIZZO, luigi@iet.unipi.it .
