Arne, I don't think so, if I'm reading the quote below correctly. http://www.chipcenter.com/memory/mdp/webscan/mn013/mn013401.htm ~ SST's ADM products are the only embedded mass data storage solution ~ of this type that contain an integrated Write Protect (WP#) Pin, ~ which is not normally found in an IDE connector. Therefore, ~ customers that do their own IDE interface can take advantage of the ~ WP# Pin feature. -- Mike Noyes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://sourceforge.net/users/mhnoyes/ http://leaf.sourceforge.net/content.php?menu=1000&page_id=4 _______________________________________________ Leaf-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-devel
