I've taken some steps to getting Linux running on CompactFlash
(contained in a PCMCIA adapter). I've had NO success. I've had no
success at all getting the PCMCIA adapters to work outside of Win95
and better.
On my Windows 3.1 machine, the "hard disk" is recognized but nothing
happens to it to get it ready. The system is a IBM Thinkpad (one
once known as a "Butterfly" because of the keyboard sliding apart).
The software is whatever IBM loads with their system.
On the Win95 system, the disk is there and works well - except the
system won't boot from PCMCIA, Linux requires a huge PCMCIA support
and lots of funny-business, Win95 won't let LOADLIN run....
Why all of the grief? Win95 does it quite simply and easily. Isn't
Linux capable of this? And I thought PCMCIA was going to be
simple....
