So ya, long time since I tried this. And man.. it sucks. Sadly, it's almost as fun as using the floppy drive. Transferring data to/from the CF card on my 1400 caused the system to sort of pause intermittently.
I took my 128MB cf card from the camera that had about 80MB of pictures on it, and transferred them to the hdd. Now, it could either be that the system was pausing while accessing the hdd, but I believe it was while the machine was accessing the CF card. I did turn on VM and tell it to use the VM, but at the time didn't have any memory intensive apps on the machine. I'm going to try again in a few days, but I suspect will find the exact same results. Has anyone else tried this yet? I know a few ppl on the list were talking about it, but don't remember seeing any good feedback. -nils On Mon, Jul 28, 2003 at 01:09:38PM -0700 or thereabouts, Nils wrote: > howdy. no, the 1400 series use ide/ata 2.5" drives. > > I think the original wanted to know the speed of CF as > a method of having faster additional memory in his > 1400.
