Personally, loading the FAT16 driver from the FlashROM would seem even more useful than IDEFDISK ^_^. Maybe someone can create a driver for it so that the remaining FlashROM space can be used and accessed like a normal FAT12 drive? (something similar can be done with the turboR's SRAM, right?). >> PS It is a great ide interface. >> > Yes. > > The CompactFlash interface is faster than the normal IDE interface, > isn't it? Yes it is, although it would be better to say that Compact Flash is faster than common IDE harddisks. However not by much, with HDSPEED I measured a reading speed of 230kb/s on my HD, and a speed of 260kb/s on my CF. I don't think that's a very shocking difference :). > I own both interfaces but still I haven't bought any CompactFlash card > (256 and 512MB cards are quite expensive). 128MB cards are quite affordable, and I don't know how much HD space you are using right now (and what you are possibly using it for), but I find 128MB sufficient for my needs. And it seems I am quite a space-waster, because other people said they can make do just fine with 64 and 32MB CF carts. ~Grauw --- Ushiko-san!
