Note the expressions "smaller" and "on-board" in my text. To me, that PATA/SATA thing is just unnecessary complexity, weight and cost. I don't use it and I'm not planning to. I would very much appreciate a scaled-down Soekris model with dual CF. And slots in the side for the CF cards, if possible;). Just a small-scale brainstorm.
