I am trying to implement a non-blocking driver for the CF card. So, this driver has to operate by CF interrupt rather then by polling the registers. So far so good, however one problem remains: Is it possible to generate the interrupt when the write sector operation is complete, i.e. when the CF is ready for the next sector write?

Without knowing more details, I *can* say that I have successfully used the CF READY line as an interrupt mechanism, which (iirc) mirrors the ready status that you are polling.

Yes, you are right. I had to discover it myself; the documentation is rather poor and often misleading. The IRQ is active by the raising front. In the default configuration, on the sector write operation the IRQ is generated twice: once after the "write sector" command is issued, indicating that the CF is ready to accept the data, and the second time after the actual write operation is complete.
