2.1. COMPACTFLASH INTERFACE
The board supports an IDE compatible flash disk by using a CompactFlash module.
CompactFlash (C-Flash) disks are the resident industry-standard ATA/IDE subsystem for
application, data, image, and audio storage. They have the same functionality and
capabilities as intelligent disk drives, but with the advantages of being very compact,
rugged (typical M.T.B.F. is 1,000,000 hours) and low power. The cPCI-MXS64 supports
all CompactFlash size presently available and future sizes when available.
The C-Flash disk connects on the cPCI-MXS64 via the onboard Flash Disk connector.
