[SIZE=11pt]I looked at my options, and bought a 128GB mSATA drive, and ATA adapter, for a combined total + shipping = $22.38, and replaced the 80GB spinning platters in an A1103 1.5Ghz, 1GB, and now 120GB storage.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]I split the drive into 2 partitions an put OS 9 and 10 on there.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]I think I’ll take OS 10 off, and use OS 9 only.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]I’m not sure why I did any of this, so if you have any ideas, let me know.[/SIZE]
