As a second drive? Yes, it worked with an old non-UltraDMA (i.e., non-bootable) 256MB CF card, no problem. I was surprised, too, since Apple is notorious for leaving out "second disk support" from its older disk controllers. Performance will slow ...

So, if you install a second CF card, that will work as a different partition?

Yes, the adapter itself has almost zero electronics on it--all the things you care about are in the CompactFlash itself. so you can use just about any adapter. Note the UltraDMA requirement (above for the card). Waking from sleep works perfectly. :)

I have a very similar book, a 1 GHz TItanium. Other World Computing still sells 2.5" IDE hard drives, up to a 320 GB model. I bought a 250 GB early this year. I'm trying a similar setup on a PowerBook 1400, though. Does the PA-CF25 support waking...

Booting my TiBook from CompactFlash



My poor TiBook is sick. :-( The original-generation 40GB Seagate Momentus hard drive is nearly five years old and is starting to do some funny things. I could replace it, but 2.5" IDE hard disks are getting harder to come by these days. If the machine died, what would I do with such a drive?

So instead of doing that, I decided to pick up a 16GB CompactFlash card ($70CDN) and the appropriate adapt… Continue

Upgrading my iPod Mini

I may live and breathe technology, but I refuse to give in to cell phone and MP3 player trends. I semi-reluctantly bought an iPod mini after the prices dropped in early 2005. 4 years later, the battery is nearing the end of its life and I was thinking about making the jump to a new Nano... but what I always really wanted was an iPod mini with more storage.

Hi Derek, I am also a big fan of your podcast and I know how you feel in falling behind on it. I started up two podcasts and then let them slide. You did a lot of episodes though.

Also, you were my inspiration for reading a book into a podcast - "Stan Veit's History of the Personal Computer." I am finally working on it again and almost done with chapter 2. It's a great book and I want to follow through on completing it. I hope to start up my Classic Computing podcast again soon too. Take care, David
