Not with pc cards. But my compact-flash cards with converter works. I've got cf-cards from Sandisk, Viking and Mitsubishi. I posted about the wierd Viking card a few weeks ago... If anyone out there wants support for a certain ATA-card feel free to send them to me and I will make sure it works! =) If I were you would I have a look at the data-sheet for the pc-card and verify that the ata registers are mapped at the right positions... SanDisk has got pretty nice CF manuals and I guess that their pc-card documentation is good too. > - I formatted the pc card on a win95 box.

It probably fails when it should send a identify command. You might need some spinup time if it is a mechanical drive. Cheers / magnus ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list.
