Unless mac2400 crashed like my harddrive did last Sunday, there's a 
whole section on the use of  CF and SmartMedia cards for booting up, 
etc. (BTW, HD failure is a wonderful way to simplify your life if you 
haven't backed up...almost worth going through the archives to get 
all of Sidney's(with an 'i') posts back on my drive.

128MB Smart Media cards are under $50 now so probably worth checking 
out. I think the CF cards tend to be even cheaper and bigger.
