D1.5 Device Compatibility
Because of the diversity of Compact FLASH devices available with different architectures and error
recovery routines etc. there is a strong possibility that some Master / Slave combinations will fail to
be recognised by the BIOS. To help highlight the problem, Inova have provided the test report
shown in Table D1.5 which should be regarded as a guide when choosing to pick-and-mix de-
vices. Should devices other than those from the manufacturers indicated in the table be chosen,
then it may be prudent that Inova be contacted prior to commissioning.
Table D1.5 Compatibility List
Note:
This module only supports ATA PCMCIA
cards (memory) and cannot be used with
WLAN, modem, GPS etc. PCMCIA devices.
If one configuration seems not to work,
try swapping Master and Slave.
