	Guess.

	Any of the platforms that have a PCMCIA slot *could* support it,
it's just matter of someone porting the code to that platforms code
base.  You may not be able to "boot" from it, but suitable loaders
could be created to go in the flash: slot of your 36xx and such
so that a ATA filesystem could be accessed.

	Why cisco hasn't taken the chance to standardize on a single flash
filesystem, and to make coredumps work correctly to ATA disk is
a mystery to me, and I suspect anyone who has tried to get a core dump
to write across a network for some tac case..

	Oh well.

	basically, most 7xxx, 65xx (also known as 76xx if your slots
go the other way, same cards tho), 12xxx platforms support ATA disks,
but watch out, some have CF slots, others have the full size PCMCIA slots..

	so you're probally best off with a cheap CF<>PCMCIA adapter so you
can purchase only one flash media, aside from your out of date linear
PCMCIA flash cards.
