Hi all,
Today I got a 2GB Compact Flash card with a PCMCIA adapter, and I was able to partition and mount it on the Quadra 650. I used FWB Hard Disk Toolkit, which was the only program I have that would successfully format it. Ordinary formatting didn't work; I had to partition it and create volumes with the FWB driver.
I was even able to boot from it. I can't really say it booted particularly quickly, but it did boot. My Quadra 650 now has 6GB of storage, which in 1993 was more or less like saying you've got 6 Petabytes nowadays.
I wonder if it'll work with the Mac Plus? The idea of a computer with 1MB of RAM and 2GB of storage is kind of weird.
BTW, it looks funny; the card sticks out about half a mile out of the front of the drive.
