Hi,

I have Transcend 266x CF card that didn't work with the net5501
as I e-mailed the list about a month ago.

I purchased a CF-to-IDE adapter and with that the same CF card worked!
Here came the idea: the adapter had a Master/Slave jumper, why not
hack one onto the net5501? I tried it and it worked!

I cut the -CSEL wire on the back of the CF slot making the card
work as Slave regardless of the "flash" setting in comBIOS (v1.33c).
The CF card is detected by comBIOS, Grub boots and Linux sees it as hdb.
I tried grounding -CSEL to make it Master but it didn't work.

Here are the details and a pic:
