A CF with a CF->IDE converter (simple passive pcb) is a good way to go. Cost is less than 1/2 of DOC. I use them a lot.

And with LPC all sizes have the same # of pins. A little slower than conventional xbus, though. I haven't seen any on off the shelf mobos, but MS Xbox has the interface (unused). Seems that most LPC parts are assuming upper 4M (FFCx xxxx) as the ROM area. -Steve _______________________________________________ Linuxbios mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.clustermatic.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios
