I went through something similar with a CF-to-IDE adapter. It's still in mothballs. Evidently some CF cards are not bootable. Which ones they are is a mystery--to me--but I know that I have two such CF cards! But the Transcend being an actual PATA drive, surely ... well that's one of the reasons I asked. -- happy Jonathan Berry and Erika http://members.shaw.ca/berry5868/fun.htm _______________________________________________ Thinkpad mailing list [email protected] http://stderr.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/thinkpad
