Hello to all,

last weekend, i tried my CF adapter with a 8GB 233x CFCard and it works fine.

I see no speed difference to my old harddisk.

And: its very quiet ;-)

Thanks

Christian

I've used NetBSD and Debian Etch .. I thought DebianLive was limited
to x86, PPC and Sparc ?

I'm not doing anything really to minimize writes apart from turning
off swap (got 256Mb in the Qube2), I'm just trying to source a simple
PCI SATA adapter that doesn;t have "RAID" and I'll install a big arse
disk inside the Qube .. then I'll move write intensive stuff to that.

My adapter is similar to this one:
