I have a fairly small linux called ThinLinux that would be easily
installed on that platform. It can run from as little as a single
1440kb floppy.
Currently we are using the 2.2.13 kernel and the same glibc as RedHat 6.0.
For more information see www.thinlinux.org.
I havn't tried the DOC hardware but it does run with various IDE
Flash solutions and using some Caldera drivers from boards with AMD
flash and a General Software BIOS.
I just looked at the current M-Systems DOC software. Fairly easy
to add to our distribution if someone can tell me how to compile
it :-(
It seems that IGEL_FLASH_MAJOR needs to be defined. Anyone know
what the proper major device number for the DOC block driver?
