Hi, this is what I was referring to in my previous e-mail: http://lists.soekris.com/pipermail/soekris-tech/2007-January/011447.html or: http://readlist.com/lists/lists.soekris.com/soekris-tech/0/1379.html
There were lots of CF/HDD trouble posts around this period, so this should serve as a good starting point for searching more info about CF/HDD issues. Speaking of CF/IDE/ATA/SATA: are there any plans for a smaller board with _no_ HDD support but with a second on-board CF adapter? To me, that would be _really_ useful.
