ATA/IDE simulated Hard drives and ATAPI > simulates removable devices like CDROM. I'm getting a "host not found" when I try to browse www.mesatronics.com A "whois" query fails too. Hmm... if $100 to $300 US is the going range, I'd probably lean toward the "SmartIDE - Smart Media to IDE adapter" from: http://www.mesanet.com/diskcardinfo.html that I posted earlier ($98 US + ~$15 US for a 32MB SM card.) Plus, SM is bootable and can be made WP via a metallic sticker on the card. The datasheet for it say it uses "30mA max when active and 5mA inactive." I e-mailed them some questions a couple of days ago but still haven't gotten a response. Also, I'm not sure if it'd be much of a concern for this application, but I believe flash type memory has limited write cycles. I don't know if SM is limited in this way.
