In my case, I believe the flash has a form factor similar to a laptop IDE drive (e.g., a *really* small connector) and is just connected to an IDE interface. BTW, this is on a Pentium CompactPCI CPU board from Motorola. I believe it's also from SanDisk. I get this feeling that they've got the same sorta thing, wrapped up in differently shaped plastic. louie To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-small" in the body of the message
