I have the Flashpath MMC and I concur that it is very slow. I did get it going reliably in Linux once I wrote the driver's author and got his patches for mtools. He decided to do away with the module and integrate support directly into mtools. It really boosted the reliability, but leaves out the ability to use the /dev/fp. Also, if I use the Windows box (latest Windows driver) to copy files to the Flashpath it will often corrupt the files. Isn't that ridiculous? Still, the thing was $36 and included a 16MB Card. -- /* Grown on a Blackberry and carried by a Sparrow. */ /* http://rallypilot.sourceforge.net/bb/index.html */ _______________________________________________ Pilot-unix mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://hcirisc.cs.binghamton.edu/mailman/listinfo/pilot-unix
