The issue of write speed... ...was addressed in this post: Message 12612907 Derek, I wanted to say "thanks" for replying to my na‹ve question about flash and SRAM. The manufacture of flash eliminates the possibility of a single chip flash/SRAM solution. I trust this is because of the oxide layer that is used to "trap" electrons. The solutions for write speed will need to include the use of additional memory, likely volatile and not flash, to buffer the write process. Because flash memory is inherently slow I suspect that additional SRAM will be the memory of choice. This would need to be incorporated within the card as a separate chip. Is there any possibility of including a memory reservoir within the housing of the CF slot assembly or is this just another unecessary level of complexity? Ausdauer
