Felgercarb. http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Supported_Boot_Devices does not show a USB HD is guaranteed to work on the 600E and will not work on the 600s. Well, back to the alternative of a flash card in the PCMCIA slot in lieu of a hard drive, or assisting the hard drive, and putting the WiFi on the USB port.

Originally....it was dog slow. Changing the drive, even to one of the new 7200rpm wonders helped little. It was only when we installed IBM part number 33L3070 (512MB memory) that performance improved. Performance is now perfectly acceptable - but not terribly "snappy". I recommend the Seagate momentus drives which perform within 85% of the more exotic parts - and have much better reliability.
