I have an ATA Compact Flash Card in my digital camera, and can see it as a
hard drive on my system via an IDE-enabled Adtron "Solidstate Data Drive."
The gist of my question is "why can't I hot-swap cards in and out of this
drive using the Linux IDE driver." I am told that hotswapping can be done
under M$ Win/NT.
As long as I power down the computer, boot it up with the card in the drive,
and leave it in there, it works just fine, looking like a 20MB DOS-formatted
disk.
If I unmount it though, or remove the card from the drive and then re-insert
it, I haven't figured out any way to subsequently use the card.
If the IDE driver *should* be able to do this, I'd sure appreciate knowing
how.
If you've read this far, ob the kernel too: I have emailed people I saw
posting here recently on the long-running Drinking Penguin thread, asking
where to get instructions for bringing up the logo at bootime. None of the
respndents could tell me how.
How?
Thanks.
