Can't say that I know much about the 'compact flash' is it a flash
in a carrier - convenient for consumer use ?  Any URLS ?

Suitable for diy efi - plug in data logging ?

Yeah me too, the traffic on atmel's is usually less then pic or philips

Some say there is no magic but, all things begin with thought then it becomes
academic, then some poor slob works out a practical way to implement all that
theory, this is called Engineering - for most people another form of magic.
