Please consider not all chipsets can handle such large devices. So its sometimes not important if you can buy larger flash devices: You can't use it (on my system the BIOS window is only up to 16MiB, so how to handle 32MiB or more?). But maybe my system is too old... Juergen -- linuxbios mailing list [email protected] http://www.linuxbios.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios
