I agree 100% with what you said about Linus and kernel licence, and
1000% with what you said on M-Systems. As long there is no open source
driver for their product, I wonīt use their chips with any product
that runs linux.

In my situation compact flash has another big advantage: Iīm not
dependant to one single manufacturer. If company a canīt deliver
enough cf to me, Iīll go to company b. It does not matter (apart from
the price, maybe) as I donīt have to change anything within the 
software. We do not have the problem of lacking an IDE port in our
hardware, so there is no problem avoiding the usage of DOCs.
