Ryan,
I am not exactly sure but I believe this is what they are basically using in
their hardware based products (GB-100)

A while ago we were discussing the need for a larger capacity media to run
GNATbox from. There were strong feelings from myself and others that using
a hard drive (especially an old one!) is a bad idea from a reliability
standpoint. The fact remains that GTA will need to find a way to store more
data as more features and device support are added. Some of the ideas were
to use two floppy drives, a hard drive, or a flash card.
I saw something neat today... Solid State IDE drives that use Flash memory!
I knew that there were flash cards available...but this one actually
connects and behaves like an IDE hard disk. Extremely cool! You can get
modules that perch on the IDE connector of your motherboard, or you can get
2.5 and 3.5" IDE flash drives that fit in a drive bay with no moving parts.
I found these devices at Advantech, and I'm sure there are or will be more
manufacturers to choose from in the future... http://www.advantech.com
Putting GNATbox on a solid-state storage device would make the software
version every bit as reliable as the GTA hardware solution! The only moving
parts you're left with are the cooling fans! Two-floppy support is a good
idea...but solid state is a great idea.
So while I was against the notion of using IDE drives in the past, in this
case I would be all for the idea of seeing IDE support in GNATbox...just as
long as people don't use old hard drives that will develop bad sectors much
sooner than later and cause a tech support nightmare!
Ain't technology great? Yaay Flash!

Is there any chance that GnatBox will be able to be stored on an IDE device?
