Re: [openpsion] Colliebook rootfs for 5MX Pro: success

[Michael Z. <zac...@gm...>]

Hi,

concerning your efforts using the Sandisk connect plus card, I remember this
topic being discussed for some time now. But as far as I know nobody
succeeded using both, the WiFi and the CF-part of the card at the same time.
Mainly because Sandisk kept crucial information proprietary. Some quick
coverage of this topic can be found
here<http://www.dsitri.de/phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=21>
.
However, I would be glad to hear that someone finally got this right.
regards, Michael
