     DiskOnChip is available with an IDE interface: unplug a hard drive,=20
plug-in a DiskOnChip.
     For cost, however, an IDE-to-CF adapter and a Compact Flash device m=

be more economical. Burning the CF can be handled through a USB-to-CF ada=

(which is real cheap). Of course if the target system will boot from USB,=

that may be the only adapter needed.
