CF is used in many consumer applications where it is hot plugged in a 
digital cameras and notebooks all the time and where it is surely 
necessary that it works with few errors. The CF-Plug is designed in a 
way that the power pins connect at first. Removable in this sense may be 
right. However the hot plugging seems to be not supported in NO od BB 
but the implementation should be quite easy.

The ATADisks version which I placed on the list should work. However the 
installation is a little bit complicated.

Compiling ATADisks.Mod is not enough. ATADisks is a part of so called 
inner core. In my tools the following is prepared (Version about 11th of 
October 2001 but it should work also for later versions)

BootLinker.Link your.bin \refs \integrate 1000H Kernel Disks
PCI ATADisks
OFS Files Modules OFSDiskVolumes OFSCacheVolumes
Unicode OFSFATVolumes OFSFATFiles OFSFileBasedDevices
OFSAosFiles OFSBoot ~

Partitions.UpdateBootFile dev#part your.bin ~

(end of tool)

BootLinker.Link links the inner core. The line from Unicode till 
OFSFileBasedDevices is necessary only when you boot from a FAT Partition 
or even from a file based file system.

Partitions.UpdateBootFile replaces the inner core on your boot device. 
dev#part may be Diskette0#0, IDE0#1 etc. When after having done your PC 
does not boot then you can use once more install disk and execute there 
Partitions.UpdateBootFile. For testing you can simply work with a diskette.

Good luck

Josef
