"Breaking off" means falling out of the port or being disconnected by accident. I'd definitively prefer CD-ROMs or HDDs as well, simply because I won't depend on good BIOS USB drive support for DOS. As Eric mentioned, there are adapters which allow replacing HDDs with CF cards. There are also SD card adapters but these contain an actual chip and therefore usually cost more. (Both of these adapter types look to the BIOS and software exactly like a HDD.) Regards, Christian ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
