Jared,

What you say makes sense, but when Rodney said RSP4+ supported it but RSP4 did not, that confused me because certainly at the very least I guess its documented in the release notes that the boot code supports ATA.

Also, I thought the only real changes between RSP4 and RSP4+ was the addition of parity memory, apparently there is more too it, or what we are talking about is some sort of crippleware that looks for the hardware id and makes a feature work or not work.

whats the easiest way to find out which processors support ATA?

Guess.

Any of the platforms that have a PCMCIA slot *could* support it, it's just matter of someone porting the code to that platforms code base. You may not be able to "boot" from it, but suitable loaders could be created to go in the flash: slot of your 36xx and such so that a ATA filesystem could be accessed.

Why cisco hasn't taken the chance to standardize on a single flash filesystem, and to make coredumps work correctly to ATA disk is a mystery to me, and I suspect anyone who has tried to get a core dump to write across a network for some tac case..

Oh well.

basically, most 7xxx, 65xx (also known as 76xx if your slots go the other way, same cards tho), 12xxx platforms support ATA disks, but watch out, some have CF slots, others have the full size PCMCIA slots..

so you're probally best off with a cheap CF<>PCMCIA adapter so you can purchase only one flash media, aside from your out of date linear PCMCIA flash cards.

We support flashdisk on an RSP4+ but not on the RSP4.

Thanks everybody! I'll get a PCMCIA adapter, since i want to use it in a RSP4+.
