In terms of the 1U unit, since it has an IDE slot available, I would
be interested in having the option for the transcend module. (just a
suggestion) Mainly because, while I do have a cf reader adapter in a
test box, I could see others not having this Simply inserting a module
directly into the IDE connector would eliminate the need for an
adapter. I supose I could have just as easily ordered it separate
myself, but wanted to purchase a package solution.

Would you consider offering a m0n0wall image setup, even if you have a
disclaimer about not supporting it ?

Could you tell me the website for fleabay? I went to
