Hi, Ken,

There has been some recent discussion that I have read about using
Sandisks and flash disks with linux on the linux-embedded mailing list.
The home page for that list is at 
   Linkname: The Linux-Embedded Home Page
        URL: http://www.waste.org/~zanshin/index.html
I looked on the home page and didn't see that the list was archived.
There may be a way to tell the list server to give you a copy of old
messages from the list, but I don't know enough about it.  However, 
if you like, I could send you copies that I have saved of the messages.
The messages were discussing things like number of write cycles and
what can happen if the power fails while writing.

Charles
