I have IDE working on my MPC5200B based system using the driver:<br><br>drivers/ide/ppc/mpc52xx_ide.<br><br>The IDE device is a compact flash card inserted in a compact flash slot on the CPU board. Two separate pins (reset and card-detect) are provided to the CPU to force a reset and to detect the presence of the compact-flash card.
<br><br>Right now I don&#39;t use the card detection, the card is always in the slot, but I want to be able to use the board without the card inserted. <br><br>What is the best way to let the kernel only use the compact flash card when it is inserted?
<br><br>Can/should I make use of PCMCIA, eventhough the interface is not PCMCIA compatible? Can PCMCIA then make use of the allready working drivers/ide/ppc/mpc52xx_ide driver?<br><br>Thanks in advance,<br><br>Henk Stegeman
