Initially based upon FreeBSD 3.5., now based upon 4.2. I have had DOCs forget everything and need to be flashed after shipping. After installation the DOCs have been very reliable. They just are expensive, single source and can be hard to get as compared to compact flash. > This is not right. Is the fla driver being maintained by someone > or have we inherited it from the M-Systems guys AS IS? Poul-Henning Kamp (phk@FreeBSD.ORG) is the author and I assume the maintainer.
