However there is a module which allows ordinary machine memory to be used for the same purpose as another MTD array, for testing an application. Please note that I have not tested any of these theories, nor actually seen a DOC in action. (A board running, but booting from a DOC, as opposed to other hardware.) ------------------- Gregg C Levine hansolofalcon@worldnet.att.net ------------------------------------------------------------ "The Force will be with you...Always."
