X-BeenThere: freebsd-small@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: Dedicated and Embedded Systems List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Fri, 22 Oct 2004 14:10:16 -0000 Hi, I've just finished preparing a FreeBSD-based flash-booting router/firewall, which is currently using a DiskOnModule to boot from. If possible, I'd like the flash to be externally accessible to make upgrading or moving the flash a little simpler. Does anyone know of a PCI-slot flash carrier that can present itself as a bootable IDE drive with an external slot? I've found some PCI-PCMCIA cards, but they all talk about Windows compatibility, and appear to be aimed at digital camera users more than anything... Best Regards, Howard
