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... > > Answering my own question, mainly so it goes into the archive - these are what I was looking for: http://www.milesie.co.uk/shop/asp/product1.asp?Product=445 or http://www.mini-itx.com/store/?c=16#p2602 IDE-connected but with optional external slot through a PCI backplane. Not hot-swap, but nice & cheap. Best Regards, Howard
