Easy way to write a diskonchip?

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.
