Hi all,
I have a couple of Boundless Capio's here and I noticed they have a
diskonchip 2000 inside. I was thinking to put linux on it (they now
carry wince).. I am kind of new with diskonchip (not new with linux).
What would be the easiest way to be able to write to the chip? Is there
anything like a USB diskonchip writer where I could just plug in the
chip and write it?
I noticed they sell the DiskOnChip Carrier Card on m-systems, but I am
not really clear on how to connect this to my pc.. Anyone can point me
in the right direction?

Cheers,
Alex

Hello,
The DOC carrier card is basically a PCI card.  There is a socket for
the DOC to be plugged into on this board.  Then, a DOS application on
the PC can be used to do a ton of different low-level twiddling on the
DOC.  In some cases, I believe this is the ONLY way to do some of the
low-level operations needed.

We purchased one of these carrier cards and corresponding socket.  I
think the total price was around $150 USD.
