I've been playing around with pc card flash memory and have been disappointed with the data xfer rates.  I would like to try out the ADP-CF2-PC32  PC CardBus Type II to CompactFlash Type II (HS-CF32A) adapter offered by synchrotech which supports 32 bit access and dma. My laptop computer has the hardware support (ti 1410 controller).

See http://www.synchrotech.com/product....01.html
for details about the adapter. It's interesting that there is a special mac os 10x driver for the card.

Before I run out and buy this adapter or any other 32 bit access adapter for flash memory, I would like to know if the card manager supports this card.

Does anyone have any experience with type of setup?

Thanks

I have no knowledge about that particular card/setup.

However, I can say that on older laptops, such as mine, in order to even attemtp to use card bus pcmcia cards I need to use the boot option  pci=assign-busses

Thanks for the pci=assign trick, as it turns out that fixed a different problem I was having.

I've put aside the compact flash cardbus  initiative for awhile and instead have focused on getting a usb2 cardbus adapter to work first. I'm happy to say I have this working and now have much faster web server performance. The system now boots from floppy disk then continues the boot from an integrated usb1 port memory stick.   I have the opt directory web server located on the cardbus usb2 memory stick.

What I would like to do next is have the system access the cardbus usb2 memory for all the applications. I suppose this means putting the knoppix image in usb2 memory and configuring the system to go to the usb2 memory to fetch applications.

So how do I go about dong this? Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

You can use the mydsl= cheatcode option.  See the wiki entry on cheatcodes for more info.

Thanks for the reply. I had already looked at the cheatcodes but it's not clear to me how to exactly go about this. I presume this is the cheatcode that should work?

[root={hda1 / sda1/ floppy } In frugal installs, specifies the partition where linux cloop file KNOPPIX resides.]

Do I then simply copy from the boot usb flash drive /knoppix to where ever the root cheatcode points to?
Thanks
