Most CF is pretty slow but the newer CF cards do DMA and are getting far better. And yes I'd expect your real time app to deal for 3 or 4mS (Mind you you'll get 1mS normal operating worst cases off even a fast DMA IDE disk) - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
