Hi--
I was looking into moving from a diskette based Eiger router to a solid
state system. The compact flash solution seems like its the only
"mainstream" method of doing this, going by what I have read in the
various LRP docs.. I would like to use SmartMedia, however, and have
been looking into how this could be accomplished.
I have found a device called a FlashPath, which is basically an adapter
which allows you to put the SmartMedia card into the diskette drive,
and access it as /dev/fd0. SmartDisk has a beta release linux driver
for the FlashPath which will work with any 2.2 and later based kernel.
Info can be found via PDF file at:
http://www.smartdisk.com/Downloads/Software/LinuxInstallandUserGuide.pdf
I was wondering if anyone has compiled this flashpath.o driver for LRP,
and if so, where I could find it. I assume this would be compiled as a
loadable module, therefore no kernel changes would be needed.
Besides the few minor shortcomings of using this product (sleep mode on
disk, not RO filesystem), I think there could be some very good
benefits to using this device.
Any ideas?
Billy
