On my SBC (Lex), there are jumpers I need to set to make the DOC socket active ... you might want to have a look at the hardware docs and see if this is what is keeping you from seeing it ... I have also seen some that require settings in BIOS to make the DOC socket active ... In my case, the DOC just shows up as an IDE drive and can be handled using same methods ... what I have done in past is boot off a USB CDROM (Ultimate Boot CD) then fdisk the DOC to blow away any existing partitions, then "DD" the img file to the DOC ... the image was compiled using the build environment ... this scenario has worked without fail for me since the Astlinux 2.x days ... I have used both the M-Systems 2000 DOC and a number of other DOM type gizmos that are in a package that connects directly to the IDE interface ... in all cases I treated them the same and got good results ...

I bought some thin client from ebay, they have AMD K6/III processor, 128MB RAM, 192MB DOC. Currently i'm running Astlinux-586 image on this thinclient using IDE, i tried to fdisk -l to see if i can see DOC that i have but it is not showing, i bet because astlinux kernel is not compiled to see m-systems 2000 DOC. Kris are you planning to add DOC support on your astlinux distro? it would be great for thin clients that boot from IDE and then later dd image to DOC. Ali...
