I got caught on this one which is why I am mentioning it.
DMA support doesn't have anything to do with the adapter. Most CF cards do not support DMS themselves, that is why it is disabled by default in AstLinux. I only know of one kind of CF card that supports DMA - the high end Sandisk industrial line. I remember them being something like 10X the cost of the regular CF cards! -- Kristian Kielhofner _______________________________________________ Astlinux-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.kriscompanies.com/mailman/listinfo/astlinux-users Donations to support AstLinux are graciously accepted via PayPal to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
