Actually it's an IDE Flash Drive from Simple Tech
http://www.simpletech.com/products/flash/flash-drives-ide.htm. The drive
connects to the IDE controller and looks just like a hard drive to the
unit. The motherboard is from Advantech and is the 4823 model with AMD
586-133mhz processor, VGA, Realtec network controller, LCD connectors and
the board is about the size of a hard
drive. http://www.advantech.com/products/PCM-4823.asp
Ideally the M-Sys DiskOnChip would be a better way to go because they are
cheaper, but unfortunately there seems that you have to do some special
things to LILO to make it work including recompiling the kernel.
Who makes the Flash Drive that your computer uses and who makes the
board. I'm curious now!. Also what mini linux are you running on it?
>Are you meaning Compact Flash?
>I have a mini linux system running in 128M compact flash.
>It is installed on a SBC (single-board-computer) Geode MediaGX: an incredible
>multimedial board ix86 200 Mhz, with ethernet, sound, VGA, USB, flash card,
>parallel and serial connectors, LCD connectors, IrDA, etc, size approx 1/2 of
>a CD drive!
>
>It has : kernel 2.4.9, XWindow 4.1 and Netscape 4.77 in only 40M
