I'm writing an application that does frequent (sometimes
every 500 ms) reads/writes to a flash disk on a PC104 system.
The system hangs/freezes periodically. I have not ran a lot
of test yet because it takes up to 1 hour for the
system to reproduce the hang. However, based on results
so far, disk IO *may* be the problem.

What I'm wondering is have anybody had similar experiences
with using flash disk and/or PC104?

Is there special considerations I should be making when
reading/writing/opening files?

Thanks,
Jason
