-Adam Sulmicki On the EPIA-MII the CF is part of the PCMCIA and does not connect to the ide bus at any time... So the only way I can get access to the CF is through ide-cs. I do have an adaptor on order (CD-IDE) to help with this issue, but I would much rather use the onboard CF. The less cables the smaller the case. -Adam Talbot
