Alternative Data storage Device on FDD Interface?
Hey,

Hope someone here can help.

I have an application where I boot a PC104 from the FDD. I have to do this regularly and it is very slow.

I was hoping to find some means of connecting a fast (relative to an FDD) data storage device to the FDD interface! I have no other interfaces available that I can boot from (i.e. HDD is in use as part of the application and USB isnt an option). I was hoping to use a compact flash or something similar.

Does anyone know of a way of doing this?

Cheers,

Barry

What is your O/S on the hard drive? Is this a really old computer? What are your IDE devices?

I hang my head in shame over my PC104 ignorance. I thought it was some sort of old Commodore 64 type of machine.

Don't know if either of those are any help, just tossing them out there. I'm not experienced in this area, sorry.
