Cool. Raises a couple of questions:

- what is the difference between an "onboard IDE-CF" system and a "PCI-IDE CF" system? 
In particular, how can I tell which I have?

- why does one need to turn DMA off in a PCI-IDE CF system? Is that the case for all 
such systems, or only specific ones?

- one tip: I'm using the CF card in an embedded board (WRAP) and the only system I 
have on which I can put stuff onto the CF card is a Win-XP laptop on which syslinux 
doesn't work. The work-around was to create a diskimage "dd if=/dev/zero of=img10MB 
bs=1k count=10000", format it "/sbin/mkfs.msdos img10MB", install syslinux "syslinux 
img10MB", copy it to the laptop, and write it to the CF using PhyDiskWrite (free 
download).

Thanks much!
