DOC verses DOM

[Nick French]

I have just been looking into buying different size Disk on a chip and disk on a module(IDE Interface). This is what I was qouted   DOC price: 32MB (US$54.-), 64MB (US$88.-), 96MB (US$122.-), 112MB (US$166), 144MB (US$195) DOM price: 32MB (US$38.-), 64MB (US$72.-), 128MB (US$130.-)   not only is dom cheaper it is also a lot faster. I guess they would say that.                                 DOM            DOC Data Transfer Rate         2101.5KB/sec   757.4KB/sec Average Seek Time          0.1m/sec       0.6m/sec Track-Track Seek Time      0.1/msec       0.7m/sec Buffer Read                1840KB/sec     752KB/sec Sequential Read            1840KB/sec     864KB/sec Random Read                1840KB/sec     800KB/sec PERFORMANCE INDEX          455.659        82.621 Seeing the problems that people are having fitting DOC to their systems would it not be easier to have a small bootstrap loader reprogrammed into the existing flash that got all its data from one of these DOM devices,  am I barking up the wrong tree? or has this already been done.   Just a thought   Nick
