Like our : dev boxes where we burn cards and see numerous nasty log entries about : device timeouts and sometimes the flashcard burn works, and other times : it doesn't? It works for non-boot devices. But for non-boot devices, you can also use atacontrol. However, for a development box, I'd get a CF adapater that groks DMA. If you are using an CF to PCMCIA adapter, then the problem is something else. We usually see timeouts on CF cards that have been static zapped in that case... Warner
