I have a question for anyone of you who may be using the Advantech 4862.
I understand you can use a Flash or EPROM as a floppy. Is this supported
by the BIOS and therefore require no drivers? It actually looks just
like a floppy?
One more question - Does the little biscuit board from them (4823 I
think) have this feature as well?
We are building an embedded unit and it would be very cool to have
simple kernel in an EPROM with network support so we can boot it up into
an "integration mode" and have it load the hard drive with the actual
software over the network. Our boxes will not have floppies and I would
hate to have to open up each one, install a floppy drive, install the
software, remove the floppy drive, screw the box back together and pray
that I don't have to go through this again. Especially since I'm talking
about possibly hundreds of these things.
