CardBus cards are pretty cheap. Open your 2400 up and see if it can be upgraded and give it a try. It would be a new knowledge as far as I know. :-)

Thanks Ralph, It's currently running happily plugged into my linux
box, just thought having the DVD storage would be nice... like to
mount DVDs on my 2400 that I burned under Linux or windoze, and yes
the sub-$500 Apple would be right up my alley I need a new desktop for
my girlfriend....

Chris, I'm not sure where the bottleneck would be, maybe USB 1.1 or the
PC card bus.... I wouldn't expect the processor speed to be a factor.


You may trying too hard for a desktop solution, using a an old portable
platform.


If you have an external monitor and can wait a few months you might
want to consider this:   :-)

so do you (the list) think a 180Mhz 2400c would be fast enough to run
an external DVD writer (like the sony DRX-700UL I received for
christmas) after being CardBus enabled and after adding usb card ?

Only if you CardBus enable it, then add a CardBus PC card, e.g.,
MacAlly.

Is there a way to use USB-devices on a 2400? I'd love to transfer
data
between 2400 and iBook back and forth, and my USB-stick would be my
preferred solution.

TIA,

Tobias
