AFAIK all those floppy adapters need a driver installed at boot. This means you can boot from it. The only ways to boot from a flash card is either on a PowerBook with PC Card adapter or a latter model Mac with built in USB. You can probably squeeze a bootable system onto a floppy with Ethernet driver and LocalTalk Bridge. The floppy only runs when accessed so it should be quiet most of the time. A long time ago someone made a SCSI RAM Disk but I haven't seen one in 10+ years. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting [EMAIL PROTECTED] "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway" -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
