Yes. There are some gotchas with newer pcmcia/cardbus flash cards.

For instance, Silicon Systems devices claim to support IORDY, but

don't, which results in a system hang. I imagine that the same >kind of
things will show up in newer CF devices, although I think that CF can't
support DMA.

It also depends upon how you interface CF: via an IDE controller, or

via a cardbus interface.

I expect to have a git tree with stuff available soon.

Do you have an early release code? I can start to work at.

Many thanks in advance,
