True very true.. I have an old card that is slow as slow can be. But the newer ones made today are pretty fast.. Even the cheap ones you can find on tigerdirect.com what is it 29 bucks for 64meg.. Now granted its small but bigger then a floppy ;-) -----Original Message----- From: ·TechnoDragon· [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, December 07, 2001 11:13 PM To: Libretto Subject: Re: [LIB] solid state disk Date: Fri, 07 Dec 2001 21:08:29 -0800 From: =?iso-8859-1?Q?=B7TechnoDragon=B7?= <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [LIB] solid state disk >Is anyone running solid state disk on a libretto? > >With Sandisk coming out with a 1Gig compactflash card next year, and >compactflash -> 2.5 IDE Adapters available, it seems like I could run >with no moving parts.

But some is faster. I have a 256mb sandisk in a L20. It is darn convenient. I love to drop the little beast in my tranchcoat pocket and take it with me. I just need to get the battery pack working so it'll be far more portable. Add my win 95 install and a 802.11b card to the mix and it's convenience beyond imagination. If I had a bigger solid state drive, such as 500mb or larger, I'd drop that into my L70. (yeah, I'm one of the few people on this list with /two/ Librettos. I found the 20 cheap at a swap meet because it had a dead hd and no cables, adapters, etc) _____ _____ _____ __ __ __ __ _____ _______________ THE /_ _// ___// ___// // // |/ // _ //______________/ / / / _/_ / /__ / _ // // // /_______________ /_/ /____//____//_//_//_/\_//____//______________/ _______________ ___ ___ ___ _____ _____ __ __ /______________// _ \ / _ \ / \ / ___// _ // |/ / _______________ / // // //_// /\ // / _// // // / /______________//____//_/\_\/_//_//____//____//_/\_/ ___________________________________________________ / / / [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://broker.dhs.org/~tdragon/ / /__________________________________________________/ ************************************************************** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://libretto.basiclink.com/archive - Archives http://www.picante.com/~gtaylor/portable/faq.html - FAQ -------TO UNSUBSCRIBE------- Reply to any of the list messages.
