[SunHELP] CompactFlash in Sun PCMCIA

[Chris Powell]

Hi all,

I'm using a Compact Flash card in a PCMCIA cradle with a SPARCstation
10 and SBus-PCMCIA adaptor (and latest patches 2.6). Mounting the
card with the command:

mount -F pcfs /dev/dsk/c1d1s0:c /mnt

Is fine. Trouble is that files don't copy from the compact flash
properly. The machine hangs momentarily and the kernel gives the
message:

?ATA_SEND_DATA - NOT READY^M

The file (not always the same one) eventually gets copied. However,
copying the file multiple times to local hard disc and diffing
gives differences (i.e. the file is corrupted in transfer).

Thanks.


Chris.
