CF cards use the IDE specification and so i would imagin that they would work with any distro of linux. you can get compact flash to IDE converters, try www.cfide.co.uk (they are about £22 each with P&P) which id assume would work (as it is just a cable converter) Yours S Hammond
Does anyone else think that the CF standard is a perfect example of Hardware standards done properly.
I mean we have CF storage that behaves like an IDE drive and CF devices that are almost pin for pin compatable with PCMCIA in a smaller form factor.
Reminds me of how impressed I was when I plugged my Zaurus's CF wireless card into my laptop by means of an 8 quid memory card to PCMCIA adapter from Jessops and it just worked.
Yes I knew that it should have worked, but after spending too many years messing with computers I have become a bit cynical.
