Ways to Use the Solid State Disk Sockets
The ways to utilize the Solid State Disk sockets of the cpuModule.
• Using a device which installs as a BIOS Extension
• Using Conventional SSD Memory
BIOS Extension Devices such as DiskOnChip® provide a relatively large amount of read/write disk
space. These devices generally appear similar to a conventional hard disk to DOS, allowing you to
copy, delete, and rename files without using any special utilities.
Conventional Solid State Disk can use a variety of memory devices, such as:
• Atmel 5 volt only Flash
• Intel 12 volt Flash
• AMD 5-volt Flash
• Static RAM
• NOVRAM
• EPROM
When used with Atmel 5 volt Flash, SRAM, or NOVRAM, the SSD appears similar to a read/write
floppy disk to DOS, allowing you to copy, delete, and rename files in the SSD without using any
special utilities.
When used with other Flash or EPROM, you can create file to program the device with the RIMAGE
program.
These methods are described in detail in the following sections.
