[j-nsp] CompactFlash Card

[HahnC at t-systems.com]

Hi Erol,

you talked about CF and I overlooked that you also wrote to use it as
PCMCIA Device. So I assumed you want to replace your existing CF on the
RE. Am I correct? 
I've never done this CF-PCMCIA stuff, so sorry for the spam :-\

cheers,
Christian
