In a bit of experimentation I have been trying various SSD schemes in my PB 3400c.
Compact Flash cards in the HD spot with a generic Asian CF-to-IDE adapter work just fine as do CF cards in a proper PCMCIA adapter for that card slot.
I have not been successful with an mSATA SSD in a generic Asian mSATA-to-IDE adapter. It is totally odd: the 'Book will recognize the drive, initialize it and readily install an OS on it. But it will not go past "Happy Mac" when attempting to start up from the drive. When I put that drive in a Pismo with the 3400c OS install it will start up just fine. Going the other way - doing the OS install in the Pismo and moving the drive to the 3400c gets just to "Happy Mac" again.
What is missing here?
