Boyd - problem with the (cheap, < 20 USD ) PCMCIA adapters for CF cards is that they cannot be used to boot from there; need the card service/manager of an OS tu run to access them.

The CF card spec.s _do_ make them quite compatible with IDE but obviously the PCMCIA slots are different and mess up those pin compatibilities. FWIW, there was an announcement in the latest issue of a larger German 'putermag for a - new, and maybe even first ? - DOS (and Win-3x) socket (TSR?) prog which allows precisely that. But it's 60 EUR/USD :(( ==> www.tssc.de Finally, on that Ghost/disk_imager/xcopy_all thingy: That's not it either, therefore; if I understood it well. What's needed is to trick(?) the BIOS(?) into taking another than the C: drive for booting. // Heimo Claasen // <hammer at revobild dot net> // Brussels 2002-08-04 The WebPlace of ReRead - and much to read ==> http://www.revobild.net To unsubscribe from SURVPC send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe SURVPC in the body of the message.
