I understand that mtd should normally not be used with a CF card, since they work in IDE mode. However, I still would like to use a flash filesystem on the card, so that the wear will be lower. From the CF specs I understand that it's possible to use the CF card in 'PC Card Memory Mode'. How do I achieve this, and is my assumption correct that I'll be able to use pcmciamtd to access the card in mtd mode? Is the only way to enable memory mode plugging the card in a pcmcia slot or adapter?
