Uhm, O.K. ... I don't think that's the way to go, though... I got a PM alerting me to the existence of write-protectable IDE flash modules like this one (TS32MDOM40V) from Transcend: http://ec.transcendusa.com/product/ItemDetail.asp?ItemID=TS32MDOM40V Now, this is complete news to me (or maybe I'm just dense). AFAIR it's not much more than six months ago the subject was last discussed on this list. And I believe that the general concensus at the time was that there basically wasn't anything available in this area... (?) *Anyway* the above link lists the price at ~ $14, which is *way* cheaper than memorystick+adaptor. Only problem (for me anyway) is that the TS32MDOM40V won't fit in a Soekris 4501, which I think is going to be my next "standard" platform. Anyone know if the write-protect "craze" has hit "regular" CF yet? > Booting from USB could be a cheaper solution considering the high > competition on these products.

I've used it several times. It only depends on whether the computers BIOS supports it. The thing is I don't much like to have 'stuff' hanging out of the box. And in any case (no pun intended) even though the routers I've already deployed *do* have USB, the soekris boxes don't. So USB is not really that great an option, even if they have WP... (do they?)
