To Gregory: a very interesting solution. But it looks like this is designed to *substitute* the IDE hard drive with a compact flash, rather than provide another drive via CardBus, is that right? For my purpose, I do need both the IDE hard drive and another bootable drive -like a CF card- so I can initialize/reinstall to the hard drive (I don't have a CD-ROM and can't find one cheap in Canada).
Has anyone made a bootable Compact Flash volume work through the CardBus adapter?

I read in Dan Knight's article "Flash Memory Improves PowerBook" on lowendmac.com that some folks have successfully booted a Lombard from compact flash. I've been trying with mine and have had no success so far:
- Powerbook G3 Lombard (320Mb RAM) - OS 9.2.2 - Kingston 512MB Compact Flash - SanDisk PC Card adapter for compact flash
I've formatted the flash (using Drive Setup 1.7.3) as an HFS volume and
installed a working system folder on it.
The flash volume appears in the Startup Disk control panel (and the
system folder is listed there) but it is greyed out.
Could anyone who has done it give me a few pointers? Thanks!
