CF usage has been discussed here before, but when has that ever stopped
us? :)
I used to boot my 5300 from a CF--the 512 has plenty of room to hold a
system folder, and everything loads faster than the HD. I actually had
the system folder on the HD too--when I wanted to use my wifi card--I
never could get the hang of the location manager, so when I wanted to do
wifi, I just popped out the CF, and when the PB couldn't find it's defined
startup device, it defaulted to the next mass storage device, the HD, and
booted from it. Worked just fine until the 5300 died and and I didn't
want to buy a 3rd unit. (Well, I did end up getting a G4 Powerbook, but I
still run my PPC'd 520c at home all the time. :) )
Later.................Howard
