I am using CF at the moment on a different platform.  Works well and it is
nice and easy to get it up and running (M-Systems Tech Support take note).

I am worried, however, about CF reliability at higher temperatures.  That is
why I am prepared to endure the blood, sweat and tears to implement a
solution with DiskOnChip.

Even if I could get it to work, I'm still going with CF.  M-SYS really
needs to change the name Disk on Chip to Chip on Chip.  It is not
seamless as their marketing department would like you to believe.
