Thanks for this info! I have been trying to found out if an ATA
Flash Card driver was already on the OG and you just answered that
with a yes :-)
According to a message posted here from MagicRam a while back, the
current required by their 40MB Intel-style Linear Flash card
for the OG is:
"Standby 100 micro A
Read 40mA
Write 40mA"
Typical ATA Flash cards have about the following current
requirements:
Read 60mA
Write 120mA

I have seen some TDK Low Power Flash cards (4MB, 12MB)
with the following approx. current requirements:
Read 30mA
Write 45mA
I have also checked out Epson ATA Compact (mini) Flash cards
(4, 10, 15MB) and at 5.0 Volts they have the following power
ratings:
Sleep Less than 1mA
Read 75mA MAX
Write 90mA MAX
Maybe it is time to give one of the Low Power Flash cards a try.
I thought I also had current ratings but I can't seem to
locate them :-( Does anyone have typical power ratings for
SRAM cards for comparison?
Thanks
