 We tried SATA Mini PCIe SSD [http://www.supertalent.com/products/ssd_detail.php?type=SATA%20Mini%20PCIe FPM64GRSE] purchased from Newegg for EEE PC 1000 - it turned out not to be compatible with that model (works with some other EEE PCs). This SSD has SATA connected to the PCIe connector (not a part of the standard), there is JMicron JMF601 SATA II Flash controller (also has USB port) on board. Realizing that this board will not work for the EEE (and the compatible non-SATA SSD for the EEE PC 1000 is much slower) we decided to try that board with the camera as if it works it will be possible to fit it inside the camera body - 64GB, faster than most CF cards and not having the DMA problem of most CF cards.

	After examining the board it was obvious what pins did they use for the SATA, and the nice thing is that the power needed is 3.3V - same as 353 camera has 'natively'. So we soldered Mini PCIe connector to the 7-pin SATA one according to the following table (power was provided directly from the camera via two extra wires):		After examining the board it was obvious what pins did they use for the SATA, and the nice thing is that the power needed is 3.3V - same as 353 camera has 'natively'.
