I used a SCSI converter card in conjunction with an addonics CF
adapter -- works great. The only place I found selling the converter
cards requires the purchase of a small IDE with for about $60.
Powerbookguy.com, I believe it was.

In a PC notebook that uses IDE drives, I could use a CF to IDE
converter with a CompactFlash card to replace the hard drive with
something that has no moving parts. However, as far as I know, this
Duo 280c uses the SCSI interface to work with disks (and possibly
other things..).
Is it possible to replace the hard drive in the 280c, or not? If so,
where can I find such an adapter, and how do I install it? What
would the limitations be on CF card sizes?
If its not possible, then what is the largest capacity hard disk
that the 280c can accept, and where can I find them for sale?
Thanks...
