And the PB users, are still doing so, and just to keep this Ok for PCI; if'n you've got an extra slot to add in a PCMCIA PCI card, it should then be possible to push in a flash memory card in there, format it for HFS/HFS+, put a minimum System and a small app. or two on it, bootup with it as Startup Disk, and wa'la low Ram overhead n no HD hits, or so it is rumour'd, and I do wonder, if'n anyone has really accomplish'd such a unique feat on a PCI Mac though? > So thanks Bill for bringing mew back to a solution I had long > ignored.
