As Anthony mentioned, anything should work that will work on an IDE drive. But if you mean the QNX demo diskette, I'm not sure if/how it'll convert. QNX itself should be fine however. > Also curious if > there is a converter that would allow connecting CF to a laptop > through a card slot?

I'm using one of the PCMCIA CF adapters (about $20US locally) and it appears as a normal IDE drive under Linux. However, the BIOS on my laptop won't support actually booting from it. A combination of floppy/CF IDE should work though. > I,m going to have to order one of those CF to IDE convertors to play > with.
