Hello, Mac Liberators!
Im running into a lot of problems trying to boot my Powerbook 5300cs from a CF card.
I tried PCMCIA adapter and a CF->IDE adapter. Three different kards (Kodak 256MB, SanDisk 1GB, and some 4GB card from my DSLR)
None boot with the adapters I have.

I want to boot from the CF, not the old hard drive (which is dead).
Do you have some verified adapters/cards?
Could it be that the firmware of the powerbook is not up dated, or something like that?
Please help.
Thanks
