I really have to cut back on the coffee and concentrate on what I am
writing... I apologize to the list for the barrage of messages, but this
is pretty much the only thing preventing me from dropping a Cisco PIX
purchase in favor of a LEAF box (storage space that is). As soon as I
dashed off that last email in my excitement, I realized that if you
could push the card into TrueIDE mode, then you could simply format it
as an MSDOS partition and syslinux it, then everything else would be a
standard LEAF install.
The only PCMCIA adapter that I was able to find was from EMJ embedded,
the 3.5" mounting kit, floppy style, is $80
(http://www.emjembedded.com/products/solidstate/ata.html part no.
1sdda01), and I haven't been able to find a retailer who carries flash
ATA cards with the write-protect switch on them. A quick check on Ebay
for "cisco flash card" turned up some 8meg and 6meg cards, but you'd
have to check with the seller about whether or not they have the write
protect switch. Some one might want to check with the big boys
(Kingston, Sandisk and the like) to see if they have such cards in
production. Anyhow, my converter has been ordered, so hopefully I will
have good news soon!
