[Wylug-discuss] compact flash cards used as IDE disk....

[David Holder]

Jim,

One place to look might be www.locustworld.com. They use CF in their
Linux based Mesh box. See here

Regards,
David

I've seen these CF card to IDE converters that allow you to use a CFcard
as an IDE disk. I was thinking of uses, and wondering what the rewrite
limits are for CFcards - has anyone used them like this.

I'm assuming that you basically use it as a readonly boot media and
would
run your system from ram disks one booted.

Anyone any pointers or comments??

Jim
