Yes, it requires drivers to access the diskOnChip, but as I said in my
previous post, I've found the people in the Linux Memory Technology
Devices (www.infradead.org) who are working on this.
And as testing, I'm booting directly from the ZIP drive. As soon as it
recognizes the DiskOnChip, I'll put the system in the DiskOnChip and
pray for it to work at the first time.
Cheers
