I'm sure you know the double click on the Finder file trick, so lets try something else. Could you get a hold of the Startup disk control panel from OS9.1? It actually lets you select the System Folder to startup from. I don't think that this will work, but I'd try it just incase. I mean if you can't get it from the double click on the Finder then there is no reason why this should work, but I'd try it. I've never had a computer with a PC card slot so I don't actually have experience with cards. Just an idea. : )
I'm not sure I understand your charged battery question. Are you planing on storing your machine for a long time? -Rob- On Thursday, July 11, 2002, at 11:19 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > I have attempted to make a PB 2400 repair start up disk using a 128mb > compact > flash card (and the PCMCIA slot), but cannot get the system folder to be > blessed no matter what. > > My IBM microdrives work fine as start up and repair disks, but the > compact > flash modules will not allow the system folder to become "blessed" no > matter > what I do. > > I think I saw a thread on the list previously commenting on the > inadvisability of using compact flash as start up disks and didn't pay > much > attention as I always had great service with the spinning IBM > microdrives. > > Comments please. > > Also, is it advisable to leave a new PB 2400 uncharged in its oem > container > or charge it even though there is no immediate need for the battery? > > Dallas ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!
