Thanks Bruce. I'm sure have tried a PCMCIA adapter in the past and the Pismo wouldn't boot from it... maybe I've just been unlucky with my choice of CF cards. Some sources on the net make it sound as if almost any card should be bootable, others suggest that the card needs to support 'fixed disk mode' and this is increasingly rare in consumer (as opposed to 'industrial') CF cards.
If I can pick up one of the Firewire adapters cheap enough I may try it out, and report back.
