You can plug in CF memory crad and microdrives as well as CF Wifi cards. Basically I would want to connect the CF card as an IDE device (I have no idea how to expose one device as another, although I think the current CF storage device driver does this). > > For the rest it sounds to me like you are doing a hardware hack. So you think that I could force the kernel to assume that a device is present? Meaning that there's no hardware-level stuff that has to happen? Of course the hard part is *where* I would edit the kernel for this...probably in the PCMCIA stuff. I know that that's where the timout message I was seeing was coming from. > > Regards, > > Norbert > > > > On Tuesday 23 November 2004 22:34, Justin Patrin wrote: > > I am not currently subscribed to this list as I figure I'll be shunted > > to another anyway.
