Hi,
I wish to offer a compact flash card (Sandisk-128MB) for storing data
files on my QNX 4.25 based data monitoring system. The industrial grade CPU
card that we have selected, does not have a compact flash socket. Hence we
intend to interface the card with the help of compactflash to IDE convertor
card. Does anyone have an experience of interfacing a compactflash card on
IDE port of CPU card? Will QNX work without any problems on such an
interface?
We have also considered second alternative of using a fast flash disk
(M-system- 128MB). FFD has an IDE port and can be interfaced to CPU card
like any other hard disk drive. Which option is more suited for use with
QNX? If criteria of the selection is performance, which of the two should
be used with QNX?
Thanks,
Krupa

Both should work fine with standard IDE driver . If M-System says FFD is
fast, then I would use that but I doubt I can be that much faster then
Sandisk (unless of course it’s twice the price, hihi )
