CFs work great in small laptops. they seem to speed up things a bit. The only problems is swap files.
Compact Flash has a limited number or write cycles and a swap file might be tough on it.
I used on in a Fujitsu stylistic 1000. It was running Winders 3.11.
What about IBM microdrives? They're titchy so don't chew battery, and I'm not *that* concerned by speed. I believe there's a 4Gb one available now, and with the dollar falling through the floor, I can even afford one :-)
Anyone know where one can get CF to 2.5" IDE adapters?
