CF cards
flash is no good for certain applications, and I don't want to use flash
Supposedly some of these microdrives have non-standard firmware on them so only the CE versions have a PATA interface.
the firmware should be pATA.
Anyway, at the moment I have bought also a bunch of 4 GByte micro-drives. They have a common CF+ interface and pATA protocol. But ... they are only of 4Gbyte of capacity for the application so I am trying to adapt the application software.
6Gbyte was the minimal, 8Gbyte was really helpful.
Anyway, I cannot understand WHY Seagate and Hitachi did that weird ZIF custom interface.
For what? Cameras are *ALL* CF+, MP3 Players are *ALL* based on Flash, so ... it makes no sense.
