Jeff, I'm reading through the CF 1.4 specifications. http://www.compactflash.org/cfspc1_4.pdf I'm starting to wonder if true ide mode will work with PQI's write protect CF card. From what I can understand of the CF specifications, it will depend on how PQI implemented write protect. I was unable to locate any information on the PQI site that describes how they implemented write protect on their CF card. -- Mike Noyes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://sourceforge.net/users/mhnoyes/ http://leaf.sourceforge.net/content.php?menu=1000&page_id=4 _______________________________________________ Leaf-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-devel
