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. -----Original Message----- From: linux-mtd-admin@lists.infradead.org [mailto:linux-mtd-admin@lists.infradead.org]On Behalf Of Christopher Fowler Sent: Friday, June 21, 2002 8:15 PM To: Ilguiz Latypov Cc: Linux MTD Subject: Re: X Windows Performance with DOC 2000 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.
