Yes I know... but that's what I meant anyway... I am very excited (since I 
will be receiving a new QubIDE soon ;-) HINT and a QL (HINT) ) ... but what 
I meant in essence and according to what you told me a while ago, the 
PCMCIA type port could be very easy to recreate...

BTW: I did find an adapter that still connects on the IDE port and is a 
100% PCMCIA Type I/II and CF compatible but needs drivers :-)


(Too expensive though)
