The home-built Pix strikes me as being more trouble and expense than it is
worth. I read about someone who made one, and he had to use an expensive
flash card that cost nearly as much as a base-model Pix. The home-built Pix
has certain obvious legal deficiencies, and, it is safe to say, could
What about IDE Flash? Is it possible to use that for a home-built PIX?
Easy to obtain Compact Flash cards and buy adapters to connect to IDE. This
works for a Linux firewall:

Regardless, I would like to get those instructions from you Mike.

No. Like I said, the problem is getting the right ISA flash card. I don't
remember the exact model I tried, but I could not get it to work. The PIX
bios is apparently coded to try a load itself from a particular memory
address on the flash card. If the card you get does not support loading
Cisco 506 was recently on ebay and it sold for $960. Retail price is about
$1400. With corp discounts, it's about 900-1000. Does this Pix does
everything? Maybe. At least you know it works, and one does not have to
scour vendors to find the flash card.

Where did you get a quote for $100? The prices I have been quoted for the
16MB ISA flash card from Cisco were considerably more than that. I don't
remember exactly what the price was but it was somewhere around $700-$800 if
memory serves.

Very interesting post : D
I've all the listed part apart from the flash card that need advice.
Is these flash card just a ISA adaptor (converter) and insert a 16MB PCMCIA
flash card or there are some flash chips build on the ISA board? If not,
what's the brand name? The Cisco brand cost 7xx!
I would be very interested to leartn how to do this.

Believe if I could find the info it would be here. All I found on the
newsgroup search was to search for Franken-Pix. If I find out any info it
will be posted here so we can stop with the me-too's. I am sure he is
overwhelmed now and hopefully he posts the info soon.

I personally would be very surprised if this was in fact possible without
requiring some serious hardware hacking. It's curious that the original
poster of this message was extremely vague in the details and it makes you
wonder whether or not it was just an attempt to create a few hundred Me

their parts so that we can build the PIX together at once.
Regarding the flash

Let me make it clear. The flash that I am referring
to is NOT the standard flash for Cisco routers. The
flash memory that I am talking about specifically
referred to as Flash that get inserted into the ISA
slot on the PC motherboard. Flash memory for Cisco
routers will NOT do the job.
