Wow, thanks for the link, thats quite the resource you have there

I'll have to refer to that when I find my CF card to see what I need to do to get started.
I boot from CF card on a board with CF adapter which is maped as usual IDE channel on this board. Only difference to a real harddisk on the IDE channel is, I have to disable Busmaster (/!BM). So with a CF to IDE adapter, I see little problem when booting from CF.
Andi,
From what I understand, a higher end (ie: pretty darn expensive) CF to IDE adapter will allow you to utilize all of the IDE features a hard drive will (including busmaster). I havent tried that - but I have tried cheaper CF->IDE and had to disable busmaster as well - though I have read about others who bought "decent" adapters and have not had to.
I'm looking at a new CF->IDE adapter - but it costs $150+ (but claims it will allow all the IDE features associated with a HDD to be used with a CF card). When I manage to spring for one (and test it), I will let you know. Otherwise, in the meantime, I have found that the CF performance is terrible with those features disabled. At least for OS/2.
