Hi David and colin (and others) Thanks for the warm welcome
> BTW - Check out what Colins been up to with the Compact Flash interface on > the Atom :) Yes I have visited Colins homepage and saw he has been quite busy (and still is) Way to go Collin. As of the CF(Compact FLash) interface. Its nice to hook up instead of a hard drive. Especially if you use the original powersupply. But compact flash does not neccesary need to be hooked up as a IDE device. As a mather of fact you can hook it up directly to the sam edge connector(or drive connector) without any additional hardware other than a CF and SAM connector with a couple of wires between them. Use two CF connectors and you get a two drive CF system very handy on for exchanging software. This wireing scheme takes advantage of the CF 8bit mode which will be faster the IDE. The only disadvantage with this scheme is that there is no software yet that supports it with the IDE scheme you can use B-DOS. I also don't have plans at the moment for writing some sort of DOS(extension) for it. But with the possibility of a SAM GUI on its way (which I happily would contribute to) who knows ... Thanks for link to the mail archive Collin. Well I'll be off reading the mail archive now. Edwin Blink
