Thanks for the links - it's nice to keep up with what's going on in the flash-expert world. How might the outcome of these debates affect the use of the microSD "internal" storage on the XO-1.5? I'm guessing "not at all, it's a linux issue and we'll just use its drivers"...but I thought perhaps OFW will have to care? Wikipedia[1] is a bit hard-for-me-anyway to use to understand whether linux drivers access the SD card's flash "directly"[2] (which I assume is what dwmw means by "talk directly to the underlying flash medium") or via some USB mass storage interface layer provided by the card (is this part - perhaps the highest level - of the FTL that dwmw and T'so are talking about?). I guess these questions are probably OT so sorry for the diversion. Martin 1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital 2. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital#Openness_of_standards
