Does anybody knows if is it possible to use an CF card using an adaptor CF to PCMCIA, putting the PCMCIA adaptor in one of the CI entries?

yes, it works very well... I have a PCMCIA to SCSI adaptor and stream directly to a 2 terabyte RAID using my 5600.

Did you specidy you wanted the DM5620-PCMCIA, otherwise you get the DM5620-CI ?

Sorry Michelangelo, but I do not understand your question...
Can you repeat it in other way?
By the way, I have seen you live in the Netherlands, where do you live specifically? I live in a small village near Arnhem, but I'm spanish, not dutch

Only joking ..... the DM's dont have a PCMCIA slot, they have a CI slot. they are fundementally different.

The only way to get mass storage on the DM5620 and 500 is Via NFS/CIFS/SAMBA

HDD is possible in Dreambox 5620! it's no Joke !
please read my post up "Porocessor have two mods - mod CI and mod IDE controller..."
