Booting from PCMCIA to MMC, CF... as HD

_ThEcRoW · 24 February 2006, 15:58

Well, i s possible too boot of a pcmcia to cf, or mmc or the selected card(assuming it's a converter of multiple types of cards), as if it were a hard disk?. Could be it possible? I have heard about a ide to cf adapter fitted internally, but the pcmcia port likes more to me.
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance!!!!!

You need an IDE to CF adapter rather than a PCMCIA adapter to boot from CF.

I am sure you could create a VERY small bootloader on a floppy to switch over to a PCMCIA CF adapter, with all the relevant drivers.
