Almost certainly not, I'd have thought. Aren't those boards just dumb
pin-convertors? CF cards talk IDE.

Hi
In my system I didn't bother with any of embedded file systems - I've
created 1 GB ext2 partition (journalising in ext3 increases read/write
count), and it worked just like any other hard drive. Bios detected
correct capacity - I was lucky with that, but in case where BIOS doesn't
detect

I believe that writing a file to a single location is not the way to do
this: you need to write a byte to the usb key in the same location, but
need to ensure it continually changes: perhaps rotating 1's/0's.
Alternatively, the concern is

That was exactly my point. Systems based on cf card as hard drive are
usually small - one function focused devices, hence there is no need for
swap partition. To extend

Well, I've heard otherwise. Use jffs2 or the CF card will wear out

I've heard lots about using flashdrives for filesystems, but I've never
read on a mailing list anything actually definitive on the subject. I find

Yeah, it's the same here. I read an article in the german computer

1 writes, but I could be wrong).
That test is
As a followup, I have actually written said script (in perl), and would welcome
any improvement comments. File size of the test file shouldn't matter, since
without wear leveling, the same cells should get written over and over again.
Only thing I need to do now is run it for a long time...

One of them is that I wasn't able to boot from my 1GB hard drive when
