PowerBook 5300ce CF Card Hard Drive Installation With Pics

[freudling]

Hi:

I just posted instructions with lots of pics on how to install a CF Card as an internal hard drive - with the appropriate adapter - into the PowerBook 5300ce. This will work with any PowerBook 5300.

This is great work! I took the liberty to link to your post from my System Folder blog. I hope it's OK with you

Cheers from another PowerBook 5300 owner!

Well done! What happens if you put cards in _both_ slots?

Peace,

It will become a Billy Mays commercial. It'll Double your order! [] ]'>

"Billy Mays, here!"

I'm thinking that the IDE controller doesn't know how to do slave devices so the second card will be MIA. But it would be an interesting exercise at least.

Peace,

I don't think it would be recognized.
